Having said that, I think I could handle reg maint on this. Hopefully. Hell, I just think it's sexy.




Oh I'm with you, it's beautiful.

I'd lease, but not own it.

I was disappointed when I saw it at the NY auto show. The front has lots of cheap plastic. It's the bottom of its class.


Genuinely interested here, you're saying this car has a nose made of cheap Italian plastic? That's a game changer

I'm no Alpha fan, but this car is unique in so many ways. Engine like no other, active front diffuser, Italian heritage, raw performance without any sacrifices (looking at you soft BMW and Mercedes catering to your Chinese buyers that don't care about feeling the road) and a distinctive look thats modeled after the classic Alpha style while looking modern. With that said, I couldn't get over the lack of reliability. I think you would see glitches appear even within a short lease as one reviewer did on his test drive.

Reminds me of wife's former infiniti that she owned - great car to drive, speed, handling and overall performance but the interior specifically info-entertainment system sucked

It's an Alfa. It's going to detonate at some point.

On that note, does anyone here have an E63 they want to crow about? Been in one a few years ago and it was a beast. Are they better now?


I had a CLK55 as a daily drive until my eldest turned 16. I love AMGs for a daily drive but with the mileage I do now it simply isn't worth it. So I have decided to get a low mileage 997 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet that I will basically just pull out on the weekends and keep pristine.

IMO the wheels are worse than the front end.

All the reviews are consistent, it's a great car to drive. Test drive a C63 or M4, then a Giulia, and the Alfa will win out. However, it is an Italian sports sedan. The reliability can not compare with its German counterparts. Even a lease might not be worth it.

That's my next car. Getting it in January.


MB has done a hell of a job with the past few versions, this particular AMG screams.

If I were shopping in the high performance mid size sedan segment, I'd get a Quadrifoglio. It'd be between the Mercedes C AMG or the Giulia Quadrifoglio...but the Italian car just does it for me, regardless of which performs better. It's a sharp looking vehicle.
