Automotive

And a relatively inexpensive addiction. Tire and brake costs should be reasonable, road tax is very low, insurance doesn’t break the bank and servicing is very competitively priced. So definitely a low remorse fun 👏🏻👍🏻

In many ways a real winner. And I am glad they actually did it - the business case must have been atrocious 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s cute but with a performance completely at odds with the looks 😊👍🏻

The automotive world has not become an easier place, unfortunately. There’s now lots of cars that no longer make it to Europe and likewise some not to the other regions. On the bright side you get some exciting machinery that’s difficult to source here 😊👍... 

Will do my best to report 🤞🏻

But probably the closest in terms of comparison available nowadays, especially with the 4 cylinder AMG engine 🤷🏻‍♂️

Glad you liked the review and really unfortunate that the car is not available in the US 🤷🏻‍♂️

As a car brand owned by a Chinese company and with probably Chinese technology it could be banned from sale in the US from 2026 onwards if o recall correctly 🤷🏻‍♂️

And I am sure no government would risk that, either 😂👍🏻

But quite how serious they will be at implementing it in the US, who knows 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s being labeled as a national security risk. A plant would be easy but not sure it will suffice this time around 🤷🏻‍♂️

Enjoy 😊

Buy a new A110 the way you like it best. It'll be your sole companion till the end of your days. In a few years Alpine is planning to make the new EV A110 .... although I think there still is a small chance they might go hybrid or ICE anyway. As much as I... 

That one sells in such minuscule numbers that the brand would never be viable without the financial backing of Renault. The new electric ones should change that. But agree, it’s a car to keep 👍🏻

I think less. Ca. 3,500 a year and a 5 year run, say 18.000 or thereabouts?

In that case you’re right of course 👍🏻

... could technically easily be produced again after a few years, and I am talking about the exact (95%) one we have right now. But as you know legislation will not allow because the concept will be deemed unsafe or whatever lie the government will come u... 

Would be practically impossible, sadly - and not just because of the regulations. I don’t think the suppliers would play ball and keeping all the production machinery mothballed for years is financially unsound. Unfortunately there’s not the simplicity of... 

But commercially it would be a disaster at the current price point 🤷🏻‍♂️

If Alpine is to remain around 🤷🏻‍♂️

But like all the biofuels also currently advocated unfortunately a pipe dream in the context of cars. The produced quantities would take ages to ramp up, will be expensive for a long while and will be more urgently needed in other applications. Whether we... 

And thanks a lot for the kind words 🙏🏻

And, probably less partial than our favorite Frenchman's impassioned perspectives 😄. Suffice to say, if I was living in Europe, this would certainly be high on my consideration list.... Cheers, Filip

Glad you enjoyed the review and if I end up getting the me than both the Frenchman and me will be more than happy to let you try it out 😊👍🏻

It where you find space for transporting watches in it 😂😂😂

😋 ...  

And not sure so many ankles fit 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

why he hates watch boxes so much 😄....

I know many who are similarly demanding of the car’s performance but less emotional - they fall much less for the marketing blurb than men 😉

Look closely now (slightly cropped) I think this is comparable to one of my favorite photos and also was possibly by accident rather than intent This is a great story to wake up to. Cazalea ...
