Supposedly with Ferrari sourced V6. In 24 hours it will be officially revealed. This is built upon a new RWD chassis. Previous generation was FWD. The original generation from the 60s and 70s was a RWD car.
This car will be Alfa's car that will compet against the BMW 3 series and will be Alfa's next entry into the US, coming on the heels of the Alfa Romeo 4C

It will never be able to compete with BMW's 3 series because Alfa has yet to make a car that is as mechanically reliable as the Bavarian's cars.

Great designs - but they're not the most trustworthy cars. My father had an Alfa. It spent more time in the workshop than on the road. One of my friends here has never had anything else, and she could have just about started renting space from her mechanic.

They look nice. They're not as sound as the BMW's though.

And what year was that Alfa? Yes, Alfa Romeo's have to prove their reliability, but so does Jaguar, whose XE is a new comer to this group as well. The more the merrier---3 series, C Class, A4, ATS, IS, Q50/60, XE, and now this Alfa Giulia. BMW has been lagging behind in their handling capability, something that they are well known for. This Alfa brings "emotion", which is what they are well known for. Let's see if they can bring the reliability up to BMW standards (probability not on first yr cars).
Also, look not just as the Alfs per se, but of a chassis that may underpin the next Challenger/Charger.

Looks like a Dodge Dart. $:-\$

As I said earlier, all cars basically look the same.

Same shit sandwich, just with a different badge affixed to it.

When will your morons realize this? Cars stopped being unique a long, long time ago.

The True Adonis · « **Reply #10 on:** June 23, 2015, 01:25:08 PM »

I thought it was a Pontiac. $:-\$

Parker · « **Reply #11 on:** June 23, 2015, 01:27:23 PM »

This car is supposed to help them in the US and China---their volume seller. Along with the niche 4C and another upcoming vehicle...
Is Alfa back (in the US)? Only time will tell.

Don't worry, morons will line up to buy anything they can on credit.

My first thought was a little BMW mixed with a SAAB.

I think I'd rather have a 2016 Chevelle...

Abacab · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2015, 03:23:08 PM »

The Alpha in the first post is looking like all the other BMW/Mercedes/Taurus boring sedans & coupes. But with likely much worse reliability.

Seems like the only interesting new automotive designs coming out are for Pony cars, SUVs and Exotics.

There's a reason for that. The Dart is based on the Alfa Giulietta body.

yeah, but this new Giulia is apparently derived from the Maserati Ghibli platform.

Yeah right the Camaro has rear lights that look like a 97 Honda prelude and the range rovers can still be confused with ford explorers

Ferrari v6 = expensive garbage

Hope that helps

A 92 Prelude still looks better than most cars being made nowadays.

List some cars from the past that you think are so much better than today. Also, give some examples of cars that you think look the same today. I'm just trying to understand where you're coming from.
