Ownership doesn't add up to 100%.[edit]

This needs to be addressed or at least clarified. While the article echoes the referenced source, it still is mathematically problematic.

Consider examining this source: https://money.cnn.com/quote/shareholders/shareholders.html?symb=FCAU&subView=institutional[dead link] Vincent Ree (talk) 02:47, 19 January 2021 (UTC):[reply]

Isn't the rest of the shares are publicly traded? Andra Febrian (talk) 03:58, 19 January 2021 (UTC)::[reply]
Vincent Ree's link has expired, however by my math according to figures available at https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/STLA/holders/ the numbers add-up just fine. 🆃🆁🆂⑨ⓚ™ 08:03, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It's still not adding up to 100%.
I suspect the issue is that Stellantis is publicly traded on the NYSE so many owners are individual investors. The "owners" listed are just the largest shareholders. Indeed, the referenced source is:
https://live.euronext.com/en/product/equities/NL00150001Q9-XPAR/company-information
and it shows the listed shareholders who, together, own approximated 33%.
Shareholder information
Exor N.V. 13.99 %
EPF 6.98 %
BPI France 6.00 %
Dongfeng Motor Corporation 3.09 %
BlackRock, Inc. 2.97 %
Source: Cofisem - Last Update: 31 Aug 2023
And those shareholders and amounts differ than the ones in the article (For instance, BlackRock is now a significant shareholder). I'd recommend removing the ownership section entirely since that information is fluid. At minimum, it should be renamed to something like Largest Shareholders.

Manufacturer parameter in the infobox for Stellantis vehicles[edit]

Now that Stellantis is officially formed and both FCA and PSA will cease to exist, we need to start some kind of consensus on what to write in the 'Manufacturer' parameter in the infoboxes of Stellantis vehicles before people are scrambling to add 'Stellantis' without consistency from one article to another.

Currently, it's inconsistent for both FCA and PSA models. American FCA models usually resorted to write every corporate changes like this:

While I personally don't mind this style, but for the general public it seems too 'technical' and excessive.

Most European FCA models simply said 'Fiat', 'Maserati', or 'Alfa Romeo', though I did see the American approach is used in the Fiat 500 (2007) article:

For consistency, we need a consensus whether we commit to the American FCA style, or just ignore all the corporate names and simply mention the brands. I listed several possible options, even though none of them felt 'right' for me personally. I feel like we shouldn't be fixated to these options and try discussing other possibilities.

Option 1

List the corporate name changes, not mentioning the brand (currently done on most FCA US models)

Option 2

Mention the brand, then mention the corporate name in brackets after. We could list previous corporate names or we could also stay simple with just Stellantis.

Example:

Although listing the previous corporate name might make it too long for some older American FCA models:

or:

italic: we're not sure about the subsidiary name yet, will update if there's any announcement

Option 3

Option 1 or 2, but depending on the generation. For example, the Corsa F (2019-present) is developed by Groupe PSA, so the manufacturer before 2019 is General Motors.

Option 4

simply the brand name without the corporate name

Option 5

Mixing several options depending on the situation (e.g. different consensuses depending on whether the brand was owned by Chrysler, Fiat, Peugeot or GM)


Anyone have a better suggestion? Andra Febrian (talk) 16:22, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Is this needed in at all? Would this not be better placed in the articles about the predecessor companies?

--Champion150 (talk) 09:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree this may not needed, thus the Option 4 or 5. The problem is that some FCA models has the predecessor companies listed, so we need to either continue it (adding Stellantis) or stop it (by removing the predecessor companies). Andra Febrian (talk) 09:55, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Andra Febrian, there is something wrong (as you have noticed at talk of Stellantis Italy, see later):
As of all this, it seems that in the moment the only change of name the change is from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. now Stellantis N.V. For all the other ist Stellantis only Group-Brand. 194.166.199.118 (talk) 16:15, 24 February 2021 (UTC) (PS: Sorry, the Englisch. I'm from Austria with native German language.)[reply]
I understand. These are all speculations, and haven't been executed since. Kindly see my other reply at Talk: Stellantis Italy as I called for Stellantis subsidiaries to be renamed back to its original titles. I have made the suggestion redundant. Thank you for your attention. Andra Febrian (talk) 16:20, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
yep, your are prompt. :-) Consequently we should have to rename all other Articels of Companies and Plants of FCA/PSA now Stellantis to Stellantis xzy. (NO!, it's only joke.)
@Ridwan97 and CCCC10: See here above, see Talk:Stellantis Italy#Source?. 194.166.199.118 (talk) 16:34, 24 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@194.166.199.118: So you're saying it was my fault that the articles gets renamed unilaterally? I don't think so, sir. Those were two different issues. Andra Febrian (talk) 09:49, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no! Sorry, Andra Febrian, at this misunderstanding, that you could read of my words. It's all ok with that, what you saying. The fault is only at the (both) users, they are looking in there WP:CRYSTALBALL and move the and speculates in the articles. Thats not you. You began correct the discussion. All good!

Again ping to @Ridwan97 and CCCC10: What's your comments in the case? 194.166.199.118 (talk) 17:01, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, glad that it was a misunderstanding. Andra Febrian (talk) 17:06, 26 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Fine :-)
Would be so kind, @Andra Febrian, to have a look to Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: Revision history with the Difflinks
1. from me: First: Stellantis is not a new Company because: Second: Groupe PSA was merged with and into FCA, so PSA is gone. Third: Directly after the merger, FCA renamed to Stellantis
and 2. reverted within less an hour: Undid revision 1009152111 by 194.166.199.118 (talk) reverted apparent. synthesis.

Brand Positioning[edit]

This needs to be addressed or at least clarified. I realise that this is the 'claimed' brand positioning by Stellantis, possibly their desired future state, but at the moment this doesn't ring true. The reality is more along this lines of (in my perception)

Bargain and City Cars Citroën: Fiat & Abarth

Lower mainstream Opel, Vauxhall (UK Only), Lancia (Italy Only), Peugeot and DS

Lower Premium Alfa Romeo --Champion150 (talk) 09:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

But this is original research/POV? Mark83 (talk) 11:14, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Dutch-based"[edit]

It's registered in the Netherlands for legal purposes, but is there more than that? If not, isn't that misleading BilCat (talk) 05:22, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it is misleading. As others have also raised this issue (indirectly) below. DeFacto just reverted my edit removing it. Could you clarify if you don't agree? Otherwise I don't see any argument in favour of keeping it in the article. -- {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 12:36, 17 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Gtoffoletto, it's a fact - Stellantis is Dutch-based, and it is almost universally described that way in the reliable sources. -- DeFacto (talk). 06:16, 18 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Let's continue this discussion in the thread below as it covers the same topic. -- {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 11:07, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sincerely--Frds2945 (talk) 22:02, 7 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am also inclined to describe this as a "Franco-Italian-American group headquartered in the Netherlands" and, even more importantly, i would reintroduce the flags for the brands (someone removed without a reason). It's headquartered in NL for legal, political, and financial reasons. It's not like Renault or Fiat are the product of the Dutch economy now. Barjimoa (talk) 20:06, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Good work on the sourcing above. But @Barjimoa:, the flags were removed for a reason, with an edit summary to explain very clearly why they were removed [1] Mark83 (talk) 21:11, 19 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think this description (more accurate than "dutch domiciled" raises issues. For example the sources are mostly french. Italians would use another order :-) So I've just removed the "Dutch-Domiciled" specification altogether. We already specify the nationalities of the original companies and where the headquarter is. No need to put a label on it. It is a multinational company. -- {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 18:58, 15 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@DeFacto: (I've taken the liberty to move your comment in chronological order to allow others to better follow the discussion. I hope you don't mind) I agree we should describe the company as a "multinational corporation" as your sources specify. Also we should specify the nationalities of the companies that formed it. After this we should also specify the headquarters in the lead (as we already do) It is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands. However, as I think others agree here, mentioning it twice and stating it is "dutch-domiciled" in the first sentence is misleading and not really relevant. It is not an important aspect of the company. Quite the opposite and should come last in the lead. As you can read here [2] the dutch company is described as an empty shell with no employees and potentially not even paying taxes in the Netherlands (exactly like Fiat Chrysler Automobiles did for years before the merger). It doesn't "really" have it's HQ in the Netherlands and it has a very feeble connection with the Netherlands. If you read the FCA article it starts: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (FCA) was a multinational corporation resulting from the acquisition of Chrysler Group by Fiat S.p.A. The Italian holding company Exor was the largest shareholder and owner of voting rights. At the time it was the world's eighth largest auto maker.[5] The group was established in October 2014. Its corporate headquarters were domiciled in Amsterdam and its financial headquarters were in London.. We should follow this same example. -- {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 10:58, 19 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I think Gtoffoletto summarised the situation rather well. The sources say it’s a multinational (or Franco-italian etc) company and say it’s based in the Netherlands, but they never say it’s a Dutch company. Starting by saying that it’s “Dutch-domiciled” is misleading and it’s also a formula not much used in sources.Barjimoa (talk) 10:49, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The "dutch-domiciled" specification had been reintroduced. I've removed it based on the consensus above. -- {{u|Gtoffoletto}}  talk 09:07, 30 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Mopar isn't a make of automobiles[edit]

The article includes Mopar as a make of automobiles. It is a parts and modification entity, not a brand of vehicles. 13:20, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

Dongfeng's position as a shareholder[edit]

Dongfeng might be neutral in their dealings with Stellantis, they can not be biased shareholders as for example the Peugeot family or the French state. If their interests are more represented by FCA shareholders, they might vote with them. How do you see that? CABF45 (talk) 13:46, 15 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

List of assembly plants[edit]

Opel Wien and Opel Szentgotthárd are not assembly plants. They produce engines and transmissions. Neither is the ex-FCA factory in Skoczów, Silesia, and the one in Bielsko-Biała. If all factories are to be listed, then the ex-GM factory in Tychy should also be listed; engines are being produced there (see GM Manufacturing Poland. And the Opel plant in Kaiserslautern, Germany. They should be dropped (which would be a pity), or the section renamed. --L.Willms (talk) 00:08, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Country specificity[edit]

I think we should call it as American-Italian and French because It comprises of Chrysler American brands jeep,ram,dodge ,Chrysler, Italian brands like alfa Romeo and fiat then French brands like Peugeot. It clarifies that I was formed by merger of all three companies . 2405:204:2283:927D:BC9A:9D10:99B4:E443 (talk) 09:08, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It's redundant, as the second half of the lead sentence already states: "on the basis of a 50-50 cross-border merger between the Italian-American conglomerate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French PSA Group." "Multinational" is sufficient. BilCat (talk) 09:21, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This has been discussed above. Please read that and make any comments you wish to there to save duplication. Also, “I think” isn’t going to persuade anyone, you’ll need reliable sources to back up your position. Mark83 (talk) 09:22, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Brand added dates[edit]

The dates for "Added" brands look strange: Why is the theory behind Citroën's 2014 and Alfa Romeo's 2007 while Fiat is 2014 and Peugeot/Opel/Vauxhall are 2021? The whole list looks as if it may be trying to be Chrysler's history and would look different from Fiat's viewpoint or Peugeot's - I am not sure this is what many readers would expect, probably leading to the other curiosities 10:39, 15 June 2022 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A00:23C6:148A:9B01:2CA6:BEF3:4B30:A817 (talk)
