Sad day at FCA.

Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and CEO of Alfa's parent company Fiat Chrysler (as well as Chairman and CEO of Ferrari and Chairman of Maserati), and father to a lot of really good...

Many in the US bought their 4C's from across the country and had them shipped, because either their...

Re-reading it again the article talks about 220 operating temps on the cold air intake side, and another product on the hot side for which they do not quote a temperature. That number seems to be...

The one that exists. The 2-door is just a design study by some arts student. There's a station wagon out there in the ether, also!

I agree with the article, that a coupe is a requirement to...

Well, I wouldn't buy lilies and a black suit just yet.

That article seems to stem from one the other day in Road & Track detailing some problems with theirs and listing a number of other...

Yes, here in London Ontario, too. ("WHERE?", he asks. LOL) Probably 30 cars on their lot yesterday (I doubt that the BMW dealer down the street moves that many 3/4 series cars in 6 months). Not...

Saw this in the June 2017 MotorTrend at a dealership today. Not sure if the article was posted already - I think that the video was.

Yeah, I don't know.
I like Alfa, and I want them to succeed.
I'm not married to them or the Giulia (though I do have a 4C - and the service manual for it, so far un-opened).

I just think...

Yes, Alfa left these shores about a generation ago due in part to quality problems. Seems to me, another manufacturer was in a similar situation about 10 years prior. They essentially kept selling...

Yup, damn sexy car. Not. The newest examples of it are 7 years old now. 6-speed automatic. The best part about it was that it wasn't really a Pontiac. Holden made some very good cars. Kudo's to...

That's ine way to look at it.
Another is that you are buying into the history of one of the most storied brands in motorsport. A G8 is a Chevy, and will forever own that. Well, not forever - at...

Quadrifoglio edition.

I hope you are right. But having watched Alfa Romeo closely for the past 3-1/2 years, I can tell you that's not a guarantee just yet. Still, a hopeful sign.

Yup, they can't even get the name right. Quadrifoglio, not "Quattrofoglio"

Did you know that the collective noun for a group of Alfa Romeo's seen in the wild is a "blessing"?
That's the same as for unicorns - because the latter are almost as rare!

I've not heard of this 22% loss thing - could be but sounds strange to me.
