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!

god the front of it looks ugly, like the back though

 

Its been in both TG and EVO mag a few months ago.
Totally new platform/chassis. Nothing derived from existing Fiat/Vauxhall/Chrysler platforms

The chassis also supports AWD too

It looks the mutts nutts as well

 

Really? I think it looks stunning. It's about time Alfa have brought out a stonking fast saloon to replace the 156 gta.

 

Jeez that is hideous. How do I un-see it?

 

looks better in grey than the red to be fair, but not a big fan of the styling tbh. never been a big alpha fan

 

couldnt agree more..... wow, alfa went ugly!

 

Look's like the styling isn't everybody's tast.

 

i think thast the thing with alpha, its a bit of a marmite thing, either you love it or hate it

 

It has to be red I'm afraid

BMW and Mercedes are grey/cooperate

 

I like it

 

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.

 

The philosophy is better than the looks , id have one if had the cash

 

its a nice number, but I'm not an alfa fan, mates have had them and they have been the most unreliable pieces of **** ever....

If i had to spunk 50K on something like this id be looking at something else... C63/M3 ish

 

Doesn't have the typical Alfa Romeo looks, but never the less the specs look really good.

 

Hints of Jaguar at the front, 3 series at the side and Maserati to the rear - I do like it though!

 

So it will be put squarely in competition with the M3/Merc AMG's and fail.

 

Hi,
Biggest problem is that it will depreciate faster than it can get from 0 to 60!
Cheers

I'd have one when I've finished with the M3 - like the look and concept very much.
