Oh dear ...

Oh dear, its added 6 months delay and I recon another 100kg to the weight which may affect the figures....or the reason why it was so fast.

What I didn't say, that article was written quite a while ago

I know where they can buy some new wishbones if required....

 

[Andyk]

Oh dear ...

Oh dear indeed.......

All a part of the Italian charm I suppose, Germans do efficiency, Italians do chaos

 

[Classico]

Forget the Giulia.

Looking forward to seeing how the new Alfa GT pans out.

If it's anything like those renderings with Giulia QV performance - I'm in.

Release date probably 2025 mind....

I am losing faith - I never reckoned my September 2016 order was safe. Dealer has no information. Should have kept the C63!

I have the distinct feeling the brand is dead. Time to restore my old Spider and Sud and forget the Marchionne era vapour-ware.

Old Alfas are better than the current range, another Italian brand living on its heritage.

Stick with it Damo. It will be all right in the end. Good job they crash tested it, some low volume stuff escapes that.

A bit like old Maser's then!
