It’s here! The Giulia has been launched
Down Under, with a range of models priced to compete vigorously in the challenging luxe
sports sedan segment.
It will certainly be a conversation-starter
among ‘Italophile’ car enthusiasts, and especially those who want something
different from the Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz competitors.
Incredibly, pricing starts at a highly competitive
$59, 895 – along with excellent levels of standard equipment.
Thanks to the spec and the appeal of the top line V6 Quadrifoglio, at $143, 900, I'm certain it will sell strongly
against Audi RS, BMW m and Mercedes-Benz AMG competitors.
I think the Giulia is really going to shake
up the market. Reading through the outstandingly detailed and honest press kit,
it is obvious that FCA’s five billion Euro investment in Alfa Romeo has been
carefully applied.
The detailed planning which has gone
into the Giulia makes for very impressive reading, and reveals a level of
design and engineering integrity and depth even I am surprised at.
Rear wheel drive; 50/50 weight
distribution; high content of aluminium/carbon-fibre, and innovative
weight-saving technologies have produced a sports sedan capable of doing
justice to Alfa Romeo’s long history and brilliant sporting heritage.
My warm and whole-hearted congratulations to exterior designer Alessandro Maccolino for a beautifully executed design.

The Giulia is everything I hoped it would
be; and now all I have to do is save up some cash, and find a member of the Australian 'Alfisti' who might desire a well-cared-for 159 JTD 1.9, so I can get myself into a Giulia asap.
