And what really boggles me is that so many people, talk about electronics being too intrusive in modern sports cars but the first car everyone WANTS is the most technologically electronic sports car in the industry, the Porsche 911 and the Porsche Cayman S.... Love Porsche but just being real... THe GTR IS A VIDEO GAME on wheels? The GTR at least is 50% RWD and has a hydraulic steering unit.

Now that the real deal is here. A Ferrari from the 80's with modern day precision at an AFFORDABLE PRICE.
And they rather drive Toyota's? LMFAO, WOW!

I'm sorry I'm ranting. It's just crazy to me...
I'm seriously lost

Over and out!

Aesthetics of what a sports car is??? Subjective???

Lol... No you calling it ugly is subjective...

The way this car has been designed, Weight, balance, lack of electronic intrusion, RWD, Mid-Engined dual clutch turbocharged engine...
The Reality is that, factually, this is what every enthusiast in love with driving has been asking for and Alfa gave it first at an affordable price.

Now they're building a sport sedan inspired on the same premise... I'm sorry bruh. But, aesthetically, the 4c is the FACTUAL definition of a sports car. And I expect the Guillia to bring something unseen in sports sedans. Alfa's will be legendary again.

Thank you Ferrari for giving us affordable supercars!!!

I can't wait for the Giulia to hit the floors! The 4C was an absolute pleasure to drive. The rawness, noises, exhaust and feel was just.. wow. They don't build cars like that anymore.

I think Nissan should be using this car as the next Z benchmark instead of the Porsche. This reminds me of the original 240z. If Nissan needs to do a power and weight reduction? This car is the car to follow... Not an FR-S.

The new Giulia will be amazing and distinctive. You probably wont see yourself coming and going like me, as a BMW owner where they are every 10 meters. I cannot wait to try this machine. LIke others have posted the 4C is the standard now. Light, fun, loud and fairly uncompromising. My 2 hour test in that machine was soooooooooooo much fun!!!!!!!!

Refreshing it is to see both of these alive. In a sea of fairly boring design and function - Alfa stands out. Glad they are back! Enjoy it man!

2016 Alfa Romeo Giulia Preview - CNET

At slightly over $81,000 starting price. I think this is about $11,000 more than I hoped.

But I'm guessing nothing is going to be able to touch it in terms of the experience.

The troubled Alfa Romeo Giulia needs serious help [UPDATE]

Whatever is going on? I hope Alfa sorts it out. Some of this I think is sabotage rumor from the Germans. This car is the biggest threat to all saloon cars since the inception of the 3 series M car in 1987.

Shmee150 sold me this car. I'm just going to pass on the year one model to make sure. But this it for me. Sounds like a Ferrari, plays like a Ferrari. The purple color is amazing as is Ferrari red. The rims are amazing, the dash is amazing.... I'm blown away.... the engine looks and sounds beautiful. If I'm going to choose between BMW and Alfa unreliability? I might as well go for the Ferrari engineered unreliability!!! Lol.

Quality of the interior looks very good. I'm sure BMW surpassed the interior.But if you're a true driving enthusiast? Can you look anywhere else for this type of driving experience??? It's really jaguar xe-r, giulia quadrofolio world.
