did you not try to fold the rear seats down and have all that good hatch area to roll around in?.... 

I see alot of this:

It seems the rear 3/4 essentially made it to production.  I think the overall is actually pretty interesting with hints of super bird up front.

The Ford GT90 styling actually showcased their “New Edge” styling that gave us the first gen Focus, the Ford(Euro)/Mercury (US) Cougar, the Ka and the Mustangs of that era. So we sorta got it...

I ride with a manufacturer sanctioned group and they always ride professionally, though I will admit when the group is larger than say 8 it can get a bit messy.  There was a break away group that didn’t like the order / rules that the manufacturer required and while I like some of them, I do find they too get up to…

No Alfa Spider handles?

2 jug rule would be cool and would certainly drive engineers to make smaller lighter cars but I don’t think I’d like the resultant designs.

wow! That’s pretty cool. My wife and I have diverse musical tastes and subjected her to them so my teen is totally into all genres of music now. She is a voracious reader but never that much in the car.

My work vehicle for about a year was an Expedition.  I nicknamed it the elephant since the silver paint had dulled to greyish and to me if felt slow and ponderous like an elephant.  The climb in/out was always a turn off for me and I’m someone who used to regularly run snow plows in my younger days.  Mini van is just…

agreed but not for the duration... only in spurts

We had a Portable DVD for my daughter for the long trips too.  But mostly we talked to her, played her music and tried to keep her engaged with looking out the windows. 

I was once in the very similar dilemma/need. We were driving a 99 328i with our newborn. That trunk couldn’t fit anything and every time my wife went to put the baby in the back seat she hit her head on the door opening. Oh and with a rear facing car seat the passenger seat had to be moved forward to the point I was…

agree totally!!

or they give them an iPhone/iPad to pacify them... same reasoning.  Drives me nuts.

Its generic store brand vanilla too! Not even the good stuff.

A turd is a turd regardless of how nice it is....

Shear folly to think a 3 row SUV will work with a 2yo and twins. Access to every SUV’s 3rd row is a royal PIA. With the 3rd row in use, your cargo space is severely limited.

The Quadrifoglio had a sketchy start with its 500+ hp 6 cyl.  The fours have been pretty reliable.

I came to say similar. I’m Always Looking For Another and have had my eye on the Giulia price.  This is a definite yes even without the carplay which you can actually retrofit now.

European initial reviews of the Alfa were all usually pretty good, but yeah there are no long term reviews of either as far as I know.
