Team is working to digitise archive of correspondence donated by public, charting relationships, social history and evolution of language After four decades together, Tatiana and Steffen Missbach still write each other love letters. “A good love letter is specific – not only declaring your feelings but also, you know, ‘good luck at music practice, I’ll be thinking of you’,” said Tatiana, 66, a retired personnel manager. “If he’s leaving early on a work trip, I like waking up and finding one at the breakfast table waiting for me.” Steffen, 68, a car appraiser, said it was his way of giving Tatiana “something to hold in her hands for the time that I’m not there, when I can’t be here to speak the words”.

On paper, the last 12 months should have been a banner year for XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) .

Bobislav/iStock Editorial via Getty Images Since its birth in 2021, Stellantis N.V. ( STLA ) has suffered from having too many generalist brands and lacking a real premium positioning. In the cutthroat automotive industry, profits are mostly generated at the higher end of the product portfolio. Stellantis is no exception. When the company was FCF positive, its margins were, for the most part, generated by the highly profitable SUV segment in America , an inheritance from Fiat-Chrysler Automobiles. The company never really had anything to put against German carmakers in the higher premium tiers. The table below, taken from my first article on the stock, compares the relative simplicity of Tesla’s product portfolio to the complexity Stellantis’ portfolio, which despite having 12 brands against Tesla’s (at the time) four models under one brand, still has not managed to have an all-encompassing product strategy. Author's work Enter Maserati: the fix that never worked The exception to Stellantis’ portfolio is, of course, Maserati. Readers should consider how: Maserati is one of the oldest luxury, sports car brands in the world, dating back to 1914. It has a stellar historical track record in motorsports , including two F1 championships won by their drivers in the 1950s when they were competing against Ferrari N.V. ( RACE ). It has a long history of producing not only sports cars and supercars but also GTs and sedans to compete with German carmakers. It would be natural to expect that Stellantis could leverage Maserati to fill its product gap and compete with German carmakers such as Mercedes-Benz Group AG ( MBGAF , MBGYY , BENZ:CA ) or Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft ( BMW:CA , BMWKY ). Yet, this never happened, though not for lack of trying. Maserati’s relaunch started with a project dating back to its FCA time. The brand expanded its offering and now features one premium SUV, a revamped GT, and a supercar. Until not long ago, it was also producing two premi...
