Alfa Romeo Giulia

Hey, have you heard anything about Alfa Romeo will debut Giulia QV coupe in Geneva motor show? Strangely only the Australian media posted this news, no any other major media mentioned tha t yet , so I wonder if this is true? GENEVA MOTOR SHOW: Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint - motoring.com.au Alfa Romeo Giulia coupe set for Geneva debut

 

Those are unbelievable specs.

It's kind of hard to believe these tiny wheel spokes are up to the task of 505 HP and 3.8 second 0-60 launches:

pretty, pretty wheels!!!

 

I own the current M3 and it's quite a sterile drive. From what the numbers show, 3 series sales are down (actually crashed) quite a bit in 2016, owed much to the A4 and C class which are selling better.
I expect the QF prices to be marked down by 6-7% by the summer's end which is a good time to negotiate on one.

 

Just checked and 3 series sales were 140,000 in 2014 and 70,000 in 2016 in the US. I don't think it's the bench mark to compare the Alfa anymore, there are many other players in the game now.

Great news! Motor Trend also came to the same conclusion.

Alfa is back!

 

I was on the 73 toll road in OC this afternoon. had a volcanic black qf pass me on the road. looked pretty distinctive...saw the grill a mile away!!

 

Do you have some pics from that issue?

Ride, handling and steering bode well for FCA as this platform will be the basis for several vehicles. Well done Alfa! Now about a proper Spider with a manual tranny.....

 

Maybe Sergio wasn't that crazy eh : )

 

Are you saying there are rebates on the cars already?

 

I think the rebates are for leases only, it's probably a conquest program and not uncommon if a new car with lowery residuals has to compete against the established players .

Bmw spends the most in the industry for incentives per unit

 

Got it, thanks. Appreciate any thoughts you'd care to share on my 4c questions on the adjacent thread.

 

I agree I doubt the Giulia will be in the same price bracket until FCA puts some money on the table
