Default Drove a Giulia QuadriFoglio today

Salesman that sold me my CTSV years ago called begging (literally) me to come try. I'll be brief , an engine that runs like a raped ape, seats that have only front and back (Sparco option) with a Nav screen that looks like one of those cheap LCD's behind the mirror at a vegas hotel. Not taking anything away, torque vectoring, all wheel drive, $87k sticker.
I'll keep my C7 thanks...

Met up with a guy at a local meet with one. It's been in 10 times for electrical problems.

Depreciation should make the off lease Alfa twin turbo v6 a hell of a buy.

87 grand new is ridiculous....

Maybe 45 grand for a three year old version ,,,makes more sense.

I bought an Alfa R Milano back in the 80s? I think it was. Taking it in for service the service manager said "hey, the engine hasn't blown up yet?" Don't think I'd buy another one.

Agreed. They're gorgeous. They sell at a decent discount, and they're very, very fast. we don't have an Alfa dealer in town, so they're not an option for me.

Also, everyone has gone to the cheap stick on lcd route. MB, Mazda, Caddy, everyone has these screens that look like an afterthought so they bought a Chinese off brand tablet and threw it in.

The Giulia Quadrifoglio Verde (the one with the Ferrari engine less 2 cylinders) don't lease well, AT ALL. I only wanted to lease, but the numbers on those are ridiculous, so I "settled" for the milder version, the Giulia Ti. PERFECT for a daily driver. More than enough power for commuting, handles superbly for a 4-door sports sedan, and very nice looking inside and out.

Purchasing a preowned alfa guadropholio (sp) seems like a smart move...and then Buy a mopar extended warranty...

If I needed a four door performance sedan with RWD for myself .,..that's probably what I'd do....

For those who live in the northeast...awd for the better half is a necessity....otherwise every time the vehicle moves a little in the snow....you the husband is an uncaring POS...lol

The turbo 4 on the Alfa sedan at 280 hp with awd needs another 70 hp ....to smack the Mercedes competitor even if the MB AMG is more expensive....

Alfa needs to sell on passion but performance value wouldn't hurt...
