Well “four leaves green” is kind of a dumb name for a car trim.

I don’t see them too often except for a red one in my neighborhood.

Hmmm, seems they’re reserving it for mental hot versions. Makes sense to me.

Veloce: Cooking versions

QV: Properly fast versions

GTA: Lightweight versions

If only they'd actually get round to, you know, making some cars...

I feel like the name was just dumbed down and shortened for marketing. I get that both names have Alfa history, but the word veloce is so generic and overused. It makes me think bicycles and coffee shops. I’m losing interest in this car fast and the angle in that pic isn't helping either.

Wow. That’s how badging should be done. SO much better than letters... M, AMG, RS, STI, SS, ZZZZZzzzz....

But Veloce is also a trim level with lots of history?

Hmmm...unfortunate, but as long as they are leaving QV as a trim level for their properly quick cars, I’m OK with it I think.

A lot of historic Alfas used the ‘Veloce’ trim name, so it does have history as well....just not as much as QV, so I DO see where you’re coming from!

I don’t care if it’s becoming an outdated platform nowadays, I would still wish Giuliettas were sold here so I could DD one....one of my dream hatchbacks! (I’m a hatchback guy...more practical! :) )
