  • ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale
    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ADESA Partners with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles to Pilot Next Evolution of Simulcast Sale Hosts Exclusive Livestreaming Sale from Four Locations as Part of FCA Inaugural CPOV Meeting CARMEL, Ind. – September 19, 2019 – ADESA, a business unit of global automotive remarketing and technology solutions provider KAR Auction Services Inc. (NYSE: KAR), partnered with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) to pilot an ADESA Simulcast sale outside of the physical auction sale-day environment. As part of FCA’s inaugural national CPOV (certified preowned vehicle) dealer meeting, vehicles were launched into auction from four ADESA auction locations — ADESA Golden Gate, ADESA Indianapolis, ADESA Kansas City and ADESA Las Vegas. FCA CPO dealers attending the event were able to participate in fast, live bidding action. “We were extremely pleased to work with our strong partners at FCA to demonstrate the powerful potential of ADESA Simulcast to this sophisticated and tech savvy group of dealers,” said John Hammer, ADESA president. “ADESA Simulcast allows us to bring the auction right to our dealers — exposing sellers to a broader buyer base and helping buyers access the hard-to- find inventory they need. We were honored to pilot this with FCA and to add to the excitement and energy of their annual meeting.” Launched earlier this year, ADESA Simulcast is a cloud-based auction solution that allows dealers to participate virtually in multiple in-lane sales occurring in any location. As part of ADESA Simulcast, participating dealers can easily access detailed condition reports, photos, valuation tools and transportation options for purchased vehicles. The FCA sale was the first use of the technology to launch from multiple sites in a non-sale-day environment to a defined, exclusive group of dealers.

  • 2021 Maserati Quattroporte
    Quattroporte. An icon of Italian elegance. In 1963, Maserati made the bold move to introduce the first ever luxury sports sedan. Starting with a powerful V8 racing engine, engineers paired it with a beautifully designed luxury sedan and proudly presented it to the world. Thus, the first Quattroporte was born. Quattroporte offers massive race-bred power from a V6 twin-turbo charged engine to the 580hp V8 Trofeo engine. There’s no better way to assert your arrival than with the restyled signature Trident grille. The new Quattroporte taillamps are inspired by the Giugiaro-penned Maserati 3200 GT “boomerang” rear lights that pioneered the use of LED in the industry. To emphasize their unique shape, state-of-the-art 3K injection moulding technology was employed to create a three-color lens. A long wheelbase ensures a spacious, elegantly crafted cabin. Every comfort and convenience is provided, from hand-stitched Italian Pieno Fiore natural leather to cutting-edge driving assistance systems. Quattroporte also features a redesigned instrument cluster and a new 10.1-inch HD screen with Maserati Intelligent Assistant (MIA) multimedia system, which makes your driving experience even more intuitive and engaging. As Maserati continues to shape the future of luxury grand touring, the masterful performance and bold refinement of our flagship will always remain.

  • FCA-PSA Merger
    Alert FCA-PSA Merger 1 November 2019 Executive Summary • Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Groupe PSA have announced that they are working together towards creating one of the world’s largest automotive groups, with the aim of reaching a binding agreement in coming weeks. • The new entity would see global scale and resources owned 50% by Groupe PSA shareholders and 50% by FCA shareholders, with Carlos Tavares the merged group’s CEO. • This news follows on from the breakdown in merger discussions between FCA and Renault earlier this year. • LMC Automotive believes that there is a strong business case for such a consolidation; this latest merger announcement once again highlighting the cost pressures faced by the industry. • The high R&D expenditure relating to platform development, electrification, and other technologies, is expected to remain a drag on industry profitability over the course of the next decade, and further consolidation is likely. • A combined FCA-PSA group would become the fourth-largest OEM globally, with an annual production volume exceeding 8 million Light Vehicles per year. On that basis, it would surpass Hyundai Group, General Motors, Ford and Honda. • In Europe, the new group would challenge Volkswagen Group as the region’s number one OEM in sales volumes terms; however, in the world’s single largest vehicle market, China, FCA and PSA have both struggled to gain a footing, which this tie-up would not readily resolve. • Assuming a binding agreement is reached to create a new automotive giant, there remain significant execution risks associated with combining two sizeable entities. © 2019 LMC Automotive Limited, All Rights Reserved.

This has resulted in sales of ABARTH in Japan hitting a first half all-time high of 951 units from January to June 2014. Sales of 1,147 units from January to August also set an all-time mark in year-by-year increase (up 275 units from January to August 2013). Furthermore, sales in June of 211 units not only set an all-time high but were also number one worldwide. With this growth as a backdrop, expansion of the ABARTH dealer network is regarded as the primary focus of the brand’s growth strategy. Since reaching sales of 3,000 units in Japan in May 2013, 7 new dealerships have been opened (more than double from May 2013 when the number was 8), and with three more to be added in 2014, the plan is to increase the number of dealerships to 20 nationwide.
