Clarkson review of the Giulia QV

[poohbah]

Jezza has reviewed the Giulia QV. In short, the knobs are more likely to fall off, but its otherwise better than an M3 and like Iceland beating England.

I still don't like the look or sound of it 

[poohbah]

I'll have yours then!

[carlo rossi]

LIke I said earlier finally an Alfa not only that you want, BUT a MUST HAVE!!
albiet i will probably end up with the 210 hp 2.0ltr  Model  doing 0-100 in under 6 seconds is
fast enough for me and too fast for the blue boys

[poohbah]

I am prepared to give up any ambition of owning a Giulia QV if I can instead get my hands on one of these:

The only thing I could possibly want more would be a genuine, road legal Stratos...

Unfortunately, finding the Eu350,000 I need for the 037 might be a challenge!

You see, when I heard rumours about the new Giulia coming out, I saw pictures of these concepts. THIS is the Giulia I was hoping for Alfa to make. Something bold and different which would make a statement, not something that looks like a generic 4 door sedan that could pass for a BMW or Lexus. For me it's just too boring, and where is the Busso!?!?

They would have been nice too.

But I am absolutely smitten by that 037. I never knew there were any road going versions left.

Maybe Fiat will try and revive the Lancia name by giving us a fresh take on this:

Those drawings are great. I wish they would grow some balls and build the cars they design on paper, much like Audi did with the TT.

The new Giulia is a great car stuck in a shit looking body. What the hell were they thinking???

[poohbah]

Each to his own Cranberry. I personally prefer the actual car over any of those concepts, cool as they are, except maybe for the last one. Though even that one I think is just too much of a retro-homage to be a serious high volume model. But it is the sort of thing that maybe Touring could produce as a limited run special using Giulia underpinnings, in the same way they built that stunning nouveau Disco Volante from an 8C.

Gentleman gentleman and Ladies stay calm
you are all right !
yes we now have a hard core alfa giulia not busso but Ferrari with2 less cylinders which makes it a
"Ferral"
and the Good news from my cousin in the know ( how I dont know)
is the C6 is coming and its alot like those pics
so a coupe giulia with a "Ferral" motor
could we ask for anymore Its just like the 60's all over again
hard core rear wheel drive cool cars lets rejoice yeeehaa

[Colin Edwards]

Its the Ti for me if it comes to Oz.  The looks are subjective, however the 2.0l Multiair with 206kw & 400Nm giving 0-100 in 5.5 s will do me just fine!
Just have to talk the missus in to letting me trade in the 159 V6 Q4 Ti manual! 

[poohbah]

Colin, the trick to keeping the missus happy is to keep the 159 AND buy the Giulia Ti.

You just tell her there is no point trading in the 159 because Alfa depreciation means you would only get the same amount from a trade in as if you had traded a 1980 Corolla for the new car. Keeping it means she can drive it until becomes a priceless modern classic!

Think it is pretty good.

jeans tshirt and a eberhard nuvolari watch. This guys mad. Awesome driving

[kaleuclint]

What I want is the Giulia Ti Q4 turbobenzina.  Whether they sell them here is another matter.  The QV is certainly impressive, but to a level I don't need.  Which is why I will probably end up buying that other "engine by Ferrari" car -- the Maserati Ghibli S.
