Hey Oppo, My dealership got a pair of things in.

No driving until the weather breaks since the tires were skipping just trying to move them around the parking lot, but my God is it better in person.

Expect a review and video once I am able to drive.

It’s so unfair. Europe gets a true manual and all we get is a thumb. And an ugly one at that.

But m’uh shift speeds.

So hopefully in 2-3 years I’m driving an Alfa, a M2, or a Cayman of the S or R variety... I know this car is probably a bad decision and my brain thinks it, but my right foot is thinking amore.

mmmmm.... my local dealer still hasn’t gotten one. They have a couple 4Cs in stock, a coupe and spider, but no Giulias yet...

We were number three in sales for Alfa, so we got these a bit early.

Pictures don’t do it justice either.

Here’s to hoping they have some crazy employee lease.

If you don’t mind my asking, what city are you located in? I know both NYC and Chicago have them, but I also know 3 large cities have them. I’m still attempting to figure out city #3.

Are the paddles column mounted or steering wheel mounted?

Oppo discounts available?

Sweet Baby Jesus.

We’ve met, haven’t we. If this is the 2.9L, hold onto your butts.

Lordy.

I’ve said too much already.

And I’ve yet to see one modern Alfa despite being roughly an hour from Rochester.

Reece-Current Stinger GT owner > JGrabowMSt
12/30/2016 at 12:59

Oh it is. We have two QF’s

Rico > Reece-Current Stinger GT owner

I’m falling in love with it more and more. I can’t afford a QF but a Guilia with sport packages sounds nice.

12/30/2016 at 13:17

Where abouts?

Reece-Current Stinger GT owner > Rico
12/30/2016 at 13:18

I hear they are going to lease for like 350/mo for employees (not the QF) so I may have to pick one up.

Oswego, when I’m home from school anyway.

Ah gotcha. Haven’t sold any down there that I’m aware of.

Rico > Reece-Current Stinger GT owner
12/30/2016 at 13:22

Nice! Those employee lease deals are always good. I really am not a fan of first year models as they usually have the most QC issues but I may change my mind on it.

Nick Has an Exocet > Reece-Current Stinger GT owner
12/30/2016 at 13:24

Excellent. The proper place to put them on a road car. BMW and Jaguar take notice.

Reece-Current Stinger GT owner > Rico
12/30/2016 at 13:26

Yeah I figure if I do a first year model it’s going to be a lease for sure in case anything goes wrong.

Reece-Current Stinger GT owner > Nick Has an Exocet
12/30/2016 at 13:27

They are massive too so its not a struggle to find them during driving.

That’s really great to hear. There could be quadrifoglio in my future!

So my wife to be is named Giulia and we’re going to convince Alfa Romeo to give us one. After all, she is named after the old Giulia.

Not that I’m aware of. Anything would be closer to Syracuse but even there I haven’t seen anything.

I already told you what to expect.

Now that you have it, whats the sticker on it?

Reece-Current Stinger GT owner > JGrabowMSt
12/30/2016 at 19:22

One was 78k, the other was 85k

And dude I didn’t even realize your wagonbro from RCR! It’s all coming back to me.

Would love to own one, but unfortunately, I suffer from a condition called “having rented a Dodge Charger”. It would be a non-issue if it was something quality like VAG, but the FCA switchgear/plastics feel sorta cheap.
