Alfa Giulia in 2017?

LOL!!!!!!


Welcome to Alfa world!

You can talk to a dealer but my guess is you will not be able to order one for sometime. It was the same with the Alfa 4c. Dealers don't want to do it and Alfa USA actually tells dealers don't do it.

What you can do is talk to a dealer and see if he will get you one from his list that is close.

But, what I think you will find is most dealers haven't got a clue. In fact, most likely they will try to sell you a Fiat instead of waiting. And if you ask them questions, 9 chances out of 10 you will know more than the sales people do about the car and when it is coming.

Alfa is probably the lowest of the totem pole when it comes to Fiat Chrysler's priorities and organization. It's their weakest link and I don't expect much

But you can try. Walk into a dealer and see if they will listen at all.

 

this car promises to dance all over a ghibli...but who cares if you can't get one?

 

First cars will be launch edition Quattrofolios only. All cars the same except color, dealers will get what they are shipped. Should be in around the end of the year. Nov./Dec. Volume production will be in the spring, built to order.

 

There have been limited deliveries in Europe already.

This is one of the Alfa vendor's who received an early one.

GIULIA QV PERFORMANCE EDITION 3/10 arrived!!! - Alfa Romeo 4C Forums

 

I have a patient/friend who let's just say is one of the most influential men in American Motorsports, owns several storied race tracks and racing series, etc. He is waiting for his Giulia. He already has a 4C ( which prompted my interest). Even he has no idea when to expect his car. At least Alfa is consistent, I guess.

 

I doubt I will be waiting for this car. all I read just pisses me off more.

 

I left a deposit on one in June of 2015 (what can I say I was optimistic) while there has been lots of internet chatter the reality is that only Alfa knows when they will release the car here.
there are QV's roaming around Europe, the UK order board is open as of Sept. only they will get the manual in the first batch..supposedly.
in North America I was told that the first batch will be launch cars, all manuals. dealers will be given VINs for there allocation and then they can offer them up to clients...
pricing...well if dealers plan on slamming buyers with ridiculous mark-ups...it might just backfire on them in the end....only time will tell

 

I thought that Europe was only getting the auto?

 

yeh and you have to take the colors they get. i want silver and will wait until i can get it. same dealer as you i wld think.

 

Sounds like you might be waiting a long time. The number of silver Quadrifoglios built so far, globally, is in the single digits. Also, all the Quadrifoglios built for the US launch stock so far are automatics.

 

the best things come to those who wait!

 

The car looks dated already. The old 156 is cleaner and sharper.

 

I agree, it does look dated. Plus the designed in 1996 156 was the car everybody copied, the Giulia is a BMW/Merc clone(I have come to expect this from all FIAT cars now). What is not dated on the Giulia is the motor and chassis. It will put the Germans in their place

According to Macgeek they started rolling North America Giulia 6C 8 speed auto's off the line 2 1/2 weeks ago. It takes 2.5 to 3 months from production line to dealer floors on average so look for them in December. Only the expensive 6C Turbo version is in production for N.A. at this point.

 

They also started making a few launch 280hp Giulias late last week. Not many of those so far, though. Maybe they'll ramp them up this week.

 

Saw one in person today


The front is as flat as a board

Grill looks like it was baked in a Suzie home maker oven very plastic looking

Front looks better than the rear

sort of a big glob

interior average

it lacks a clean sharp look like the BMW's

Maybe this look worked on the C4 but it doesn't translate to a big 4 door.

Not feeling it
