This is a genuinely big deal…to me anyway, it’s only been three years in the making :lolol:

Tonale Pass is in a mountain range, like the Stelvio :rolleyes:

I could go all Crodo on this

It’s an Alfa, it will be gorgeous.

It is also utterly irrelevant as it is reliant on Italian electrics.

It will also breakdown as it is an Alfa.

:lol::lol::lol:

If you had said 80’s I would have said yes please.

I had a 156 in the 90’s, brave discs being replaced at 30k miles, repeatedly.

Have owned 3 Italian motorcycles. One of the Ducati’s was known for blowing its reg/recs far too early. The original was Italian, the replacement Japanese. The alarm system/immobiliser on one of the others cut in whilst the vehicle was in use on more than one occasion. Apparently this could not happen???

Audi may have made a difference, but an Italian electric car? I would not be an early adopter.

As a 2 Alfa household we have been massively disappointed by this development.

A proper hybrid estate car would mean the perfect all rounder and we'd only need 1 car, this monstrosity just devalues the brand. It looks like all the other crap out there.

as it is the Giulia is soon to be moving on, I have found another Subaru wagon for a race tender, now cycling to work . . . and Mrs Zef Alfa may/may-not get replaced as it's done 90k miles now.

all new cars are just generic shiny plastic turds now.

Sadly car makers have moved away from estates and into SUVs, it’s not just Alfa. They must know something we don’t, as I would always go for an estate over an SUV :down:

Have they finally got round to putting the front number plate in the proper place (like the front)?
