New 503bhp Alfa Romeo Giulia !
Anyone else seen this new Alfa Romeo Giulia. Ticks all the right boxes!
Good looks
Rear wheel drive
Ferrari developed 3.0 V6 twin turbo
500bhp
Rear wheel drive
Lightweight construction
Massive use of aluminium and carbonfibre.
Carbon ceramic brakes
Best in class power to weight ratio
Manual gear box
Sounds pretty awesome to me.
And it will probably depreciate like every other Alfa so we can all afford one!

Low/sleek front end styling died when NCAP said we couldn't hurt pedestrians when we hit them. I like the styling compared to other makes of saloon, which IMO all look like caricatures of their brand imaging due to the way they use oversized grilles to hide the size of the car's front end...you could put a BMW or XFR grille on that Alfa and it wouldn't look out of place, which is symbolic of how generic styling has become due to NCAP restrictions.
Hence the tall front end/nose that ALL cars now have and try to hide by using over-sized grilles; The grilles on nearly all new cars aren;t needed for cooling, they are just there to try and hide the height of the car's nose (now over waist high)...compare that to a 1990 Celica GT-four as a perfect example of height difference of how low a front end could be on a production car in the times nobody gave a stuff about NCAP.
