This is what happens when you let the "engineers" do their thing without accountants and management getting involved.

Engineers: Let's make this a sports CUV for Alfa! Standard 4 piston brembo! Standard Koni FSD!
Reality: Brake squeal - it has aggressive semi-metallic pads that never get up to temp cuz of regen braking.

Engineers: Let's give it a geared transmission, we cannot have CVTs in our hybrids because of driving feel
Reality: 23mpg, WORSE than Pacifica Hybrid.

Engineers: Let's give it giant metal paddle shifters
Reality: It has a really shitty 6 speed

Engineers: 288 HP and 383 lb-ft of torque
Reality: the 1.3 turbo SO loud when running as a generator I thought the car was broken/there was construction shit running next to the car

Fuck you Avis for stocking these, it makes a beat up 1st gen GLA car2go look like a rolls royce.

Literally just give me a gas or hybrid CR-V instead.
If I'm plugging in a hybrid, at least the Wrangler/Grand Cherokee 4XE have redeeming qualities... even though they might set my house on fire.
