The first customer-sellable European Giulias were built in April 2016.

The C&D Giulia Quadrifoglio was built on Jan 19th 2018.

Since it appears that neither the author nor, from a cursory look, nobody in the comments realized this, I’ll be the one to point it out. This is the same exact braking system that’s been on the Alfa Romeo Giulia and Stelvio for years.

I know. Although technically US-spec manual Giulia Quadrifoglios do exist, Alfa built over 60 of them. They’ve just never been sold.

Manual Quadrifoglios were discontinued more than a year ago: after the introduction of the automatic version, even where the manuals were available, almost nobody bought them.

(the 8C doesn’t count, it was too expensive and nobody bought it).

La Cinquecento. L’automobile è femmina!

The new Compass is based on the Fiat SUSW platform, like the Renegade.

Maserati V6 head.

Kinda puzzled, as that appears to be Greg’s car. Maybe he lent it out?

While you’re in Milan, stop at the Alfa Romeo Museum, in Arese, just outside of the city.

Some cars now have reversible motors, so no reversing linkage is needed anymore.

Here’s hoping those things won’t change under the new fascist regime.

So glad to see you post. Thank you.

The Tipo sedan is sold in Mexico as the Dodge Neon, btw.

A Dart hatchback does exist. It’s called the Fiat Ottimo, and it’s made in China. It’s the hatchback version of the Fiat Viaggio, which is a simplified (different rear suspension, for instance) and rebadged Dart.

Giulia.

That’s a 156 Sportwagon, not a 159.

Classic Luca De Meo shit. Everywhere he’s been, he’s done that kind of inane special edition.

In Italy, we have a specific word for it. Parabrezza for the windshield, and lunotto for the rear window.
