Alfa Romeo Giulia

Not true.

 

This is for USA build. Order Carbon brakes or you won't get the car anytime soon.

 

I know how leasing works, and it was available. It just wasn't a Manufacturer program and wasn't advantageous.

 

That's exactly what I said.

 

There are Quadrifoglios in US dealers right now with steel brakes. So still not true. In fact, the majority of Quadrifoglios on US soil do not have carbon ceramics.

looks to have carbons but no seats. this would seem to be msrp +

 

Sounds like AlfaMale is trying to steer Giulia Q owners into buying carbon ceramic. Is that all he has in stock at his dealer?? It's fine if you do work for FIAT Mr. AlfaMale, but identify yourself as an employee if you do please.

 

The whole discussion is silly.

This car is breathtaking. The chassis is an absolute marvel, the engine never stops and the auto 'box is absolutely awesome.
If you are really going to drive this car the way it was designed to be driven, then you need the ccm brakes. If not, then just buy a diesel.

 

Have you driven one? If so, which variant?

Cool.

The Cassino plant where the Giulia is built. Alfa now, and may I say finally, makes a world class product.

Great video, horribly annoying repetitive music soundtrack however!

Seems like a positive trend and should only get better as it's released in other markets. The wagon should help exponentially

 

peter, can you provide some commentary on the car? looks? interior? performance? quality / construction?

thank you.

Peter

 

New issue of Automobile magazine contains a rave review of the new Giulia QV. Its earned serious cred around the Nurburgring.

a beautiful new giulia qf in ann arbor for $70k. less than sticker?

 

red comp, no seats, steel brakes, carbon steering wheel, black optional wheels...$70,450.00

now sold! seems like it was offered well below msrp? it did not last on the market long. so it makes me wonder if the cars will be a tough sale or?

will they depreciate in the secondary market? will 500-2000 mile cars be avail in the secondary market for $60k soon? thoughts?

will there be a cpo program? a 6 year / 100k mile program would be seriously attractive!

The build quality is pretty remarkable. The controls for the infotainment are the same as in a BMW, the ZF 'box is awesome. It has a specific software and drives like a dc (and a whole lot better than a 4C), with all the niceties of a semi manual ...pull the 2 paddles, it goes into neutral, pull the right paddle it goes into drive.

In "n" and "a" modes it is as smooth and quiet as the best in class. In "d" it starts to bark as you start to push. The on board systems allow you to play without overstepping the mark. In race, well everything is turned off, there is a permanent growl and you had better know what you're doing as it steps out..just like a real car!!
I have sottozero snow tyres on for the winter and the only defect is that under very heavy braking the tyres allow the car to move around a little bit. But you really need to brake very hard for this. With the P Zero Corsas, the car is very solid in the same exercise.
The CCM brakes are awesome - a definite must for anyone who wants to really drive the car. The front end is simply marvelous. Think and the car goes there.. I dial in the soft suspension mode most of the time as I find it a touch more supple ..
I have the carbon seats and they are the most comfortable seats I have in any car. My chronic backache stays at home...
The engine..well it leaves you breathless. Ferrari have done an amazing job. It puts a smile on your face every time you touch the accelerator.
On mountain roads it is simply fabulous. You don't have the feeling of weight that you have to deal with in a BMW, Audi or a Mercedes of similar ilk.
This car is a game changer.
The car is very beautiful. I get stopped all the time by aficionados who want a closer look. It's crazy, but this car attracts as much passion as a Ferrari!!

 

Thank you for thst great summary!!!

 

Awesome review. My Vegas dealer says they just got the first one. It's blue.

I will wait until next year. No need to rush in right now. I think I actually like the Metallic Grey best.
