A110 non-French speaking thread

[Peiclet]

Welcome again to all our Alpine Friends from UK, Malta, Japan, Australia, RHD... so if you have questions/comments about the new A110 (specs, distribution networks, car options, tests...) you can post it here. Alpinely yours.

[GoldenAlp]

Thank you Peclet, that's perfect. Bon weekend

Accepting that posting on the French concessions thread is clearly off topic, I'm not sure that a dedicated non-French thread is the best way forward. We all have a common interest in most of the threads.

Indeed my first concern is when demonstration cars will be available in France - since I will be going through France on the 5th of December. The chance to see the car in it's final spec (I assume) and perhaps even drive it would be great.

On another forum the non french poster used to post both in english and the google translation.

It solves both the off-topic and the language issue.

[Bcr1548]

That does seem like a better solution to me - accepting that google translations are sometimes gobbledygook. Clearly there may be threads that are purely British, purely Australian etc.

[Tangleding]

Bad translation sould be better that no translation anyway...

The 5th December it will be too early to hope driving a car. Nevertheless you will see a PE model (final spec) at Boulogne Billancourt showroom but I guess it will be not available in the others centers before mid-december.

But no USA Peiclet?

[Peiclet]

Sure USA, Canada, Mexico, China, Italy, Spain... Although to my knowledge Alpine has no plan to sell in those countries for the time being. We are missing on the contrary Belgium, Netherlands, Switzerland and Germany for which they have outlets.

[GoldenAlp]

According to the Alpine website, the car will be available in Italy.
(Je pense que l'Alpine sera disponible en Italie?)

Interesting, how come it is not listed as available in 2018 for Oz as well.

I suppose because the Wizard was not Jean Rédélé, but only Amedée Gordini...
"Amédée Gordini, le Sorcier"...

Ref. :

"Amédée Gordini, né Amedeo Gordini le 23 juin 1899 à Bazzano, Italie, et mort le 25 mai 1979 à Paris, et surnommé « Le sorcier », est un constructeur automobile italien, naturalisé français des années 1950".

Not sure about Australia but one thing is for sure all countries are treated the same. So if you have similar reservation number, you will get delivered at the same time regardless of country of origin (France or not) .

Are you sure about that? Originally LHD cars were to be produced from 2017, but UK cars not until 2018. UK dealers won't be having their "education" until next year and haven't been formally announced yet. So I assumed, whatever the delay in production might be, that UK cars would come later than the first French ones.

[Peiclet]

Right, I was referring to LHD and the outlets that are already opened or soon to be opened . So no preferred treatment of France over Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland for instance.

UK pricing creeping up?

''Prices for the 250PS 1.8-litre engine coupé are expected to start at around £48,000.''

https://www.am-online.com/news/dealer-n ... -car-brand

Top Gear, earlier in December 2017:

'' Let’s guess an entry-level Alpine will be about £45,000 basic. The two trim levels are Pure and Elegance, the former stripped out and 1,080kg, the latter more luxurious and about 1,120kg. Meanwhile, an Audi TT S starts at £40,840, a Cayman at £39,878. Neither is anything like as well equipped though. We have a modestly specced manual 718 Cayman in the Top Gear Garage. It lists at over £52,000. ''

Yes, I have just responded.

Hi Bcr,

Good evening.

Today I received a message from Winchester. It appears there are delays. The Pure/Legende (previously to be delivered in November) delivery is now pushed back to 'Spring 2019'. Your PE should start being delivered in June.

Summary:
April - confirm PE orders
June - demonstrator arrives
August - showroom launch (work begins May 16th)

For Pure and Legende:
Summer - invite to test drive, confirm orders
Q4 - production starts
Pure and Legende will be in Geneva

Please note that the FAR messaging is not working - sent emails are getting stuck in the outbox.

Cheers,
M
