Test drove the new Giulia

[TheDan]

Test drove the new 2.0L turbo Giulia... In a nutshell it's a very agile and responsive sedan that is very nicely optioned for the price. Best in class performance compared to all the other 4cyl sedans on the market. My experience with the Multiair engines tells me there is a lot more performance to be had as well.

Sticker price?

Fastest lap time of any sports sedan, is that correct?


ETA: It looks to be quick according to what is posted online.

 

[TheDan]

No, no... That's not a man bun. It's just my hair in race mode

I actually agree with you on the "man bun". Thing is I've had long hair way longer than it's been cute for these fucking hipsters to have it and I'm not going to change just because they copied my style and ruined it.

Even a .50cal would fit!

Sticker price?

The sticker for the car I drove is in the first 10s of the video

They start at $38k and go all the way up to $85 for the 505hp one. That $38k base model isn't a stripper either. They come pretty well appointed in base trim.

Fastest lap time of any sports sedan, is that correct?

Yep, but that's the 505hp Quadrifoglio version. The one in the video is a base model, but it's no slouch either. 0-60 in 5.1s, and there's definitely room for more with tuning.

Made a shorter video for those with child like attention spans

If she would of put something in her pie hole and let you drive would of been nice.

I was wondering what was going to happen in that secluded wooded area, lol...

Nurburgring.
It put up a real solid time.

Meh. New CTS-V will munch it when they finally make an official lap time there

Looks cool. Glad to see them coming in strong.

perfect example of why I wont buy a car if a salesperson has to go with me on the test drive.

lol... yeah she wouldn't let me get a word in or just listen to the car. I really do enjoy how enthusiastic about the brand she is, tho. Most salesmen couldn't care less about whatever it is they are selling.

 

[Younggun]

Enthusiastic, or just being a salesman?


You are a lot nicer than me. I've been known to tell them to shut up, I can form my own opinions, lol.

Yeah I'd expect the CTS-V to whoop it. A more fair comparison would be to the ATS-V, tho...

It's a Alfa, it'll break down soon...

I think the enthusiasm is what makes her a good saleslady. She comes to Alfa and FIAT club meets even when she isn't trying to sell something. She's been involved with the brand since the 80s... I don't think she'd be as enthusiastic if she was selling Toyotas
