Red seats and accents against black interior + white paint is damn near perfection. Only options are the sport appearance packages and the dual-pane sunroof, exactly how I’d spec it. $42,690 seems totally reasonable, and its only a 3 hour drive away. I might have to rethink my life priorities and find a way to afford this.

I had a friend at my former company who really like Alfa Romeos. I think her dad worked for Fiat. Anyways, if we were still friends I’d send her this link and be like you need to get this since she now lives in Houston.

I’m quite interested to see one of these in person. They look rather nice in photos!

Mmmmmm those column mounted paddles are sweet. Glad to see you can get those on the non-quadfo models with the sport package.

Damn so I didn’t know you could build these out and you actually get a lot of options for way less money than a comparable Benz/3 Series. Depending on how leases look for this late this year this thing is definitely in consideration.

I just can’t believe Alfa doesn’t make a rubber floor mat for these, and Weathertech doesn’t either... yet.

Me too. Our Fiat/Alfa dealer in town is pretty small and claims to have just gotten one in. I’m seriously thinking of going just to see what it looks like this weekend.

Comparible 330i with read leather interior, M-Sport package and sunroof came out to around $46,000 when I did it - seems like they are pricing this right. It is pretty close to the Jag XE as well, but in 2.0T form the Giulia seems sportier. On the other hand, they have huge gulf between the $40-50k 2.0T’s and the $80k Quatrowhatevero whereas Jag/BMW/Audi have $60k-ish models that fill in there.

They are just hitting the streets. WeatherTech needs to borrow one from somewhere to laser scan first. I’d give it a few months. They have mats for some pretty obscure cars, so it will probably be coming.

Ooh I just checked. The one near me has a couple of 4Cs and a Quadrifoglio. 4 others show up is in inventory, but most likely they’re on their way.
The sounds like a fun Saturday shaping up. Kid to hockey in the morning. In the afternoon, hit up the Alfa dealer for a peek, and go to the Denver muscle car swap meet after that.

But not not have factory’s available..... did Alfa not think owners would drive them year round in shitty climates?

The Guilia has some standard options that aren’t standard on the BMW.
Alfa: Bi-Xenon headlamps standard and Backup camera and rear parking sensors standard.
The BMW needs a $800 lighting package for LED lights (Why are they still putting halogen lights on these things?) and a $950 Driver Assistance package to give you a back up camera and parking sensors.
I built an Alfa that matches the BMW options completely below and there’s a $4k difference (I added the High Performance headlamps on the Alfa to match the BMW’s adapative headlights). I’m not saying anyone should be paying sticker for either of these cars but I am saying BMW needs to up their standard content considerably. I won’t even bother trying to spec out a C Class to match the Alfa because I know for a fact it’s $55,000+:

No manual. No care.
This was supposed to be the car for manual drivers, such a tease, for shame.
