    Yeah, well this is their try to change that reality and perception. I'm definitely going to watch.

    There ABSOLUTELY should be an Italian brand to compete with the Germans, Japanese at both affordable levels but also to less affordable premium levels.

    And anyway, plenty of people drive BMWs (myself included), not exactly having great reputations as far as long-term quality.

    I just really want to test drive the Quadrifoglio. I really like the MotorTrend guys from the video I posted in the original post. Love their Head 2 Head stuff, Ignition show. And they liked it better than all the competition.

    I like it. Love the 4C though.

    But that's all irrelevant for me because at this point in my life I'm more likely to buy a used minivan than a new Alfa Romeo.

    Hmm... I had no idea they had an upcoming SUV -- the Stelvio ... even a Quadrifoglio variant... wow... 500+ hp. The "normal" version makes 280hp

    Nice head 2 head video.


    Seems like a nice car, but personally I would have to go for the new gen SS at half the price over those cars. It's not a 4 door, it's likely not as luxurious, but a leather interior SS is nice enough for me, especially with it's performance (beats all of the cars in the head2head) and a 30-40k price tag.

    Agree. I'm no car buff, but I think that's ugly.

    3 series had a baby with a Pontiac. Haha

    Weird... I know I just watched the Giulia episode of MotorWeek, but it looks like they aired it again today on PBS.
