And will likely still be outselling the Camaro (at least with rental sales included). So I kind of understanding the logic behind skipping a platform change when you can invest just a little into body/interior/electronics and engine tweaks and remain more than competitive against your rivals who have dumped a ton more money into their offerings.

But I think at the same time the decision could only have been made for two reasons:

1. Adapting Giulia was too costly (either a cash flow problem or FCA thinks it wasn't worth it)

2. FCA realized switching to a modified Giulia would have shrunk the car too much and limited engine choices. It's obvious the size of LX is one of the reasons it continues to sell (especially in the rental/fleet market). And seeing how even though it has the worst handling and the slowest straight line performance (sans Hellcat/Demon) of the big 3 while still selling consistently, where's the incentive to spend money on a platform just to improve handling/reduce weight?
