    Well they always looked good even if they were a warmed up old (Alfetta GTV) model. The engine was nice the rest meh ... Yes I owned one for 4 years.

    That one looks real sharp!

    Riding Dragons was great imo, actually gave me a chill to see that commercial during the SB.

    Checked out the Giulia at the local Alfa/Fiat dealer Sunday am, no Q's in stock but 6 are in transit...they sold the only Q that they had. They had 7-8 of the base model in stock, the model I liked best was the one with the Sport Pkg which gives u the Q 5 hole wheels and paddle shifters along with what else I am not sure. The paddle shifters put the paddle shifters on my 4C to shame. MSRP on this was $48.8 I believe. Interior quality to me seemed outstanding, the seats were gorgeous and it was just a very nice layout. The dash was not leather covered, but the quality of the plastic/rubber dash reminded very much of BMW...it just had a really nice grain to it. I do believe leather is avail on the dash though. She is about the same size as a Cadilliac ATS, but much more room inside.

    I did not drive her as I know that I am not in the mkt now, but when my wifes current lease is up I will seriously consider the Giulia Q4 or the Stelvio for her. Very impressed with the car and now want a Quad for myself, but that will most likely be a lightly used one with a $20-30k diiscount.

    Completely agree. You can order a stitched leather dash in the Lusso option. I agree with the sport package and the QF's wheels.

    Qf's have a leather dash. In fact they have everything but a sunroof because the roof of the QF is Carbon fiber.

    QF's are really hard to get right now. My dealer has 3 coming and one is already sold.

    I drove a Quadrifoglio (about $78k) and a 4WD 2.0 "sport" edition (about $50k) of the Guilia tonight I also drove a 4c spider and will post my comments on that thread.

    First, the Guilia's of either model are great looking cars. The QF has four rear tips, hood vents and other external components designed to make it stand out and the sport model had accented rear tips and a diffuser. Street presence of either when viewed from the front is particularly mpressive.

    The interior on the QF is significantly nicer than the Sport model. More leather, alcantara etc.

    The driving experience is, to me, where the real departure lies. The QF is in a different league. Performance, sound and interior NVH.

    The smaller engined car just felt noisy (it was) stressed (2.0 L inline 4, with a lot of sound being communicated through the firewall) and has more hard surfaces rather than sound absorbent materials. It was quickly apparent that it held no interest for me.

    The ride quality on both cars was excellent.

    I'd buy a QF but not its smaller engined stablemate. That was a real disappointment.

    Yes. I'm looking for a DD so the QF is just not what I'm looking for right now.
    Some of the interior components did feel cheap, bit for a 44k car, I love it.

    A bit of an FYI on the quadrifoglio. Invest spare funds in Pirelli stock. The owners that can best preserve their tires may get 8,000 miles on a set, more than likely 5k.

    Anyone heard when more Quadrifoglios will be coming - with more variety in options, e.g. CCM brakes and Sparco seat option...?

    5K def. is not a lot, but then again if performance is what you want then settle with the drawbacks I'd say.

    I wonder what Michelin Cup 2 tyres will do on a QV....

    I have a test drive scheduled for Friday. Demand is so high our local dealer has a 10K markup on it. Also, the QV has test limit too. Lot only. Massive snow on the way tomorrow too. We'll see or I can take a Ti out maybe instead.

    I'm curious to know more details on this

    I have been wanting to order mine with the Dark Tecnicos but my local dealerships were not able to, on top of that I really want the carbon ceramic brakes but don't want the 5-hole wheels

    They timed this perfectly with the Super Bowl commercial. Very smart to have inventory after spending a ton on advertising!

    Alfa has been doing some heavy advertising since the SB. Saw them twice on CNBC while at work yesterday and once on Fox Business last night I believe. HUGE snowstorm in NY today...its really blowing hard, plow guy has already said that he may have to come two times today.

    Need more info on these new wheels, I hope they are Bright Silver.

    Is there a reason why? I have tried contacting Alfa Romeo USA regarding this matter

    So many official pics/videos are being posted by Alfa Romeo with the Tecnico Wheels and Carbon Ceramic Brakes, but none of my local dealers can't answer why it cannot be ordered together?
