You have to fear for the future of a car company that appears to have no new models on the way, nor any plan to pivot to a new purpose. Whoever ends up running Seat (and Cupra) has a pretty big decision to make. +++ +++ STELLANTIS is already wounded. The conglomerate watched as sales and revenue nosedived through 2024, eventually leading to the abrupt resignation of its former CEO, Carlos Tavares. This was supposed to be a year of rebuilding for the company, but with Trump's steep tariffs now in effect and no indication of stopping, things at Stellantis may soon get much worse. Particular attention falls on Alfa Romeo and Maserati, 2 brands struggling more than most. Stellantis hired management consulting firm McKinsey and Company to examine the situation, notably with an eye toward tariffs. A company spokesperson told that McKinsey was "asked to provide its considerations" for the 2 automakers but didn't offer further insight. Stellantis declined my request for additional information.
