Those big left and right grills kinda ruins the look I think. The rest looks great but those grills are over the top, like the designers thought about adding something really bad *** to finish it off and failed big time. They should have just kept the typical middle alfa grill and made a more agressive shaped front bumper instead.
I also wonder about the interrior, Alfa is known for flimsy plastic that will fall apart by just looking at it. that said, Alfa's are always priced very decently so with some budget left for customizing I will keep a look out in the future on a used one
In my opinion Alfa either makes stunningly beautiful cars or hideously ugly cars and never anything in between. This fits in the second category for me. One thing that I used to love about BMW M was the little grills on the side. E46/E60 style ones. Not as much the E92/Fxx ones. Now every car you see on the road has a similar thing there on the fender and it really bugs me.
I had the privilige to drive one with the manual stick on a track in Sweden last week and IMHO it's better than the M3 in many aspects. The steering response is just insane and chassis is absolutely fantastic. Even the standard Giulia is a very competent car. Plus it looks georgeous!!!
You don't have to worry about that. The Quadrifoglio is not built with a carbon fiber monocoque, the 4C is and that IS expensive.
The Q just uses a lot CF else where, the bonnet, the roof, prop shaft, chairs and some interior bits. Parts which can easily be replaced.
????? FIAT = Filiale Industry Automobilia Turin, (or something like that), = Alfa Romeo, (Think FIAT own ALFA), = Fix It Again Tony. It may look good but I don't know in that in 9th grade we received as a gift a 850 Spider with the floor pan so rotted out we had to put 2X4's in place so we'd have something to affix milk crates to as seats and the motor we took apart and "unseized" it with the wooden end of a hammer, got it to run and oh boy, was it fun. We didn't care we fixed daily because ..................... we were mobile. Now a days ........ hope Alfa has come a long way since those "glory" days.
A new record was just set, 7:32 on The Ring. Same time as a 458 Italia!
This car is not be messed with!
