I have a friend on his third Alfa. He’s had two Giulias and is now in a Stelvio. He’s had some fun cars over the years, including BMW 3-series cars, and says these are the best cars he’s ever driven.

Once again, a car that Lincoln should have produced. The T-bird should have been built to be a true sports car (paralleled Mustang powertrains, suspension options, and even Shelby Cobra versions) while a Lincoln version focused on true luxury. 

For those that balk at that stories of bad or scary quality of the storied Italian brand, I’m going to just leave this link right here for you to read.

Many journalists were looking for that “it’s Italian, so it must be unreliable” angle in the beginning, but these cars have since ranked high in reliability proving most journalists wrong.

These were not the basis for the Dart. The Giulia was the beginning of a whole new RWD platform that was to be shared among other FCA brands. The Georgio, which shares nothing with the LX RWD platform, was developed in Italy and by Italians with help from some Mopar engineers that spent some time there. It was…

I think the “fully loaded” is a misnomer from the author. It has the wheels of a ti Sport, but it’s definitely a base model. It doesn’t affect the asking price though, in my opinion. Still a super nice car for a 2017.

Full Disclosure:

Nailed it! every single aspect of what makes this a compelling buy is in this article, while skipping over the usual review stuff.

There’s a few things going on here. Mopar keeps it in production for a few specific reasons, which one is to keep an economical option for fleet buyers or even as a full-size option in the mid-size price range of the its competition.

A couple of other very important things to note from the AN article was that because of the use of fewer materials used in building a sold-state battery, they also:

An epic automotive drama called Ponchatrain (historical reference) or Internal Combustion (kind of a pun because of all the drama back then). The story of how Detroit became the automotive capital of the world and would cover the formative years of the industry between 1890 and 1930. Think of characters like the Dodge…

Not a status symbol. Just a dream car that I worked hard to finally attain and I want to keep it looking nice for as long as possible. Why would I want some fucking squid like you to fuck it up for me?

“Apparently Ruck’s insurer, State Farm, refuses to pay for the injuries, because it will not accept responsibility on Ruck’s behalf for the crash.”

I’m going to ask a favor from you. I have a feeling you’re not really the asshole that this comment makes you out to be, so I’m going to give you some advice that I would love for you to follow.

good

The proper term is “platform sharing” or “platform mates”. An example of “badge engineering” would be the Chevy Cavalier and Cadillac Cimarron or, using a late model instead, the Toyota GR86 and Subaru BRZ. You wouldn’t refer to the new Supra as a “badge engineered” Z4 or the Cadillac ATS as a “badge engineered”…

Nice bullying with the use of “retard” there, boomer.

People who drove this person to do this are the true terrorists. You know the ones I’m talking about. You park your very expensive and nice car way out in the parking lot, away from other cars, only to come out and find some POS minivan, owned by what looks like a hoarder, parked right up next to you for no reason.

“Design trends” tend to be a topic of discussion on here, which makes me happy. However, this particular story kind of cements a thought I’ve had over the past couple of years that we’re entering the era of minimalist instrument panels. It’s not just about big screens, but the instrument panel as a whole is one long…
