MilesA Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Performance is impressive. Shame about the styling. The face looks like a child being forced to eat their spinach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FJuan Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Ever since the mid "90's Alfa Romeo 164, I've been in love with those cars. It was all about the Tour Cars of that era that got me hooked and it was one the sexiest cars to date, IMO. The newer version looks just a cool. http://www.f1fanatic.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/alfaromeo155dtm-4.jpg My wife's balls are delicious.

I have to disagree Miles:) My fathers original 71 1750 GTV will be in my garage in a couple of months, same color and wheels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesA Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I'm kidding. I do like the styling on a lot of the older Alfas a bit more, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Those are some really good looking cars, they'll look very pretty sitting on hoists in the shop when they're broken down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJr Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 It is available in MT but! "The six-speed manual gearbox, standard on (and available only for) the Quadrifoglio, delivers the purer driving experience, but it’s clear that less development effort has been expended on shoring up its working relationship with the V-6 engine. The gear changes have a nice weight to them, and the manual is fun to row quickly, but gentler progress reveals that the heavily boosted engine suffers from noticeable turbo lag. Below 3000 rpm, there’s a distinct pause followed by a swelling sensation as the horses take a couple of seconds to gallop in. The eight-speed automatic’s ability to either drop a gear or to slip its torque converter helps spool up the turbos more quickly, and those horses pretty much drop through the ceiling. Although the auto’s gear changes aren’t as quick as those of many dual-clutch automatics, they’re faster and less dramatic than the speediest made with the manual gearbox."

JJr Posted February 11, 2017 Author Share Posted February 11, 2017 Not really my point, maybe they will depending on sales. I surely don't think the lack of a MT will have any affect on sales numbers, since many of it's sedan competitors only sell approx. 1/3 in MT's. This was interesting too, fastest sedan track record @ Nurburgring, set with 6 MT, curious what the AT will do! http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-shows/frankfurt-auto-show/news/a26699/the-510-hp-alfa-romeo-giulia-qv-is/ Oops 7 seconds faster in the AT. http://blog.caranddriver.com/alfa-romeo-giulia-gets-its-groove-back-fastest-again-at-the-ring-video/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGeneral Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 The Beast has arrived! http://www.caranddriver.com/alfa-romeo/giulia-quadrifoglio I think I would rather have the AMG C63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 LOL, coming from a LGT member that's quite hilarious I got rid of my LGT almost 10 years ago. I stick to Toyota products for reliability and durability, as well as LSx powered performance cars because that motor is almost bullet proof.
