Cars segmentation is one those topics in automotive world that generates many discussions. There are so many segmentations, according to the auto makers, specialized press and consumers. It’s also influenced by the region/market and many times by the price of the car. That’s why benchmarking becomes a difficult task. The distance between segments is quite small and sometimes it’s difficult to know in which segment some cars should be part. As I talk about this segments often and the market is always changing, I’m going to share with you my own segmentation, which is based on my knowledge of the market mostly.

How do you put the Lotus Elise and Alfa 4C in different categories, surely they are effectively the same type of car. In fact, my idea for Alfa would be to produce a range of 4C to run as an entry level Ferrari type car, think 488 range for comparison.
