Friend just bought a Giulia Quad - ride was amazing. Splitter comes out of the front when a certain speed is reached, then retracts.

I saw my first one today on a transport trailer. Absolutely beautiful car. Would love to pick one up.

Alfa's attempt to get into the US marker....again. The Alfa badge is not known for the best of quality control. Several yrs back I remember either Car & Driver or Road & Track was doing a long term, 40K mile test of some Alfa. First car crapped out...had to get a second to continue the 40K test...that one didn't make it either.

Any company can change for the better.....I hope they have as it's a very appealing vehicle. And welcome competition to BMW, Benz, etc.

I see a 4C in our KingSoopers all the time, hear it started once in a while... sounds awesome!!!!!

The Giulia Quad looks amazing to me... the reviews have been great so far. Would love to take one for a spin.

And here I thought you would be much more interested in an Alpha Romeo Spider...

edit: I figure some people might not have read this thread

Being that it's an FCA brand & based on the reliability ratings of other FCA brands (Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge), expectations shouldn't be too high.

Dismal sales.

yeah,but if you read the review of their long term corvette,it didnt fare too well either.i seem to remember something about a defective oil filter boss causing it to require a new motor and a few other maladies.that said,it was probably a fluke and i wouldnt buy an alfa because id be afraid of maintenance costs.
