Now let's just wait and see what it weighs with the only option we need being the quadrafoligo.

No one cars about a 4 banger or diesel version of this car lol

Sadly the price tag is gonna hit high which will make it much less appealing.

In the U.K. the quadrofoglio will be selling at £60,000
So that's about $86,000. Which will force me to choose between a vette, Q60/Z, an M2

Hopefully because of Alfa's lack of success stateside. Maybe we'll see something closer to $75,000.

For 75k......nope. For 86k even more nope lol

Then again it's competition is an M3 which bases at 63k.

Still for 75k i would buy a slightly used Z06 I think.

There you go. 75k is a fair price... besides I don't think it'll sell being any more expensive than $78k

Here's the OFFICIAL UK PRICING.

Looks like it will be £1,000 cheaper than estimated. $59,000

The car will start around 31,000 for its base 148hp engine. I think the only engines that would sell here would be the diesel, 276HP v6 coming up later and the 503HP.

There's too many options within 20HP of each other. But the regional Euro market has a unique pickyness about engine power vs efficiency.

You get that great Alfa reliability for free! Now with Chrysler influence, it's even better. Come on guys. Nice car but damn, that's two strikes against it. If the new Fiat reliability numbers in North America are any indication, the Alfa is doomed before its ever released.

This is a 4 door Ferrari, pretty much. Not even the Maserati can perform like this car. It has a nurburgring landslide record.

Ferrari isn't known for reliability. But that's never the topic of discussion when it's brought up. Same with M cars. But because this company is tied to Chrysler. It's doomed. It's also tied to Ferrari, from which they Co engineered this engine. **** reliability. If I'm gonna have reliability issues? I'd rather have it in this than a boring *** M Car.

But anyway. I try to not stigmatize a completely brand new product till its been out 3 years. Even Chrysler's are usually reliable toll you load them up with their so called technology packages which have always been and will be flawed.

The 4c and BMW z4 rank close in reliability. So it's not much worse than the high selling bimmer

2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia is ready for its uphill battle - MarketWatch

Design is flawless. Base specs are respectable. I'm still perplexed by why they would make brake by wire? There's no autonomous feature so what was the purpose of that? But this looks better than all the saloon cars out there. The jaguar XE is a close second. So glad they exist. Was expecting this to outdo bimmer performance but it's exclusive looks give it the automatic heads up.

At 3800lbs, I thought the quadrofoglio would be lighter. But with 510hp I'm sure it's not a big deal. Was hoping 3,600lbs though. 3.8 seconds also not bad.... Wondering if they will one up the quad with a higher powered car?

At least the saloon market is getting better.

This car has stylistically destroyed the competition.I typically hate 4 doors. I've always said, why do I need a 4 door when I can just own a hot sports car. I've dreamed of owning Ferrari's all my life. I remember when Alfa was in America in the 80's. I was in love with the milano and the Mercedes 190E amg. They were the only 2 4 doors I loved back then. I was 12 years old. Now it's 30 years later, I got cash and I'm in love with Alfa and Mercedes all over again. This time the edge goes to the Alfa with the Ferrari sourced engine.

https://youtu.be/OwMPIMalu6M

The Alfa stirs emotions in me I can't explain. But it's the same feeling I felt when I bought the Z.
I think right at $80,000 the Alfa is a bargain. But I'm concerned that it will depreciate quickly and I can save $20,000 just waiting a year. Like the Jaguar F type is already cheap with really low miles compared to their $120K MSRP. You can grab a used F type in the $90'sK loaded, With just a few thousand miles.

Either way. This car is amazing and I can't wait to see it in person.

Here's an amateur first impression review of one of the first Quadrofoglio cars in the nation.

I'm sorry.... but I couldn't even consider an M3 with this, the jaguar and the C63 out there. Even the caddy, though not so beautiful. Has amazing performance.
