Someone could slap Alfa badges on a 90's Lexus LS400 and idiots would still be frothing about how poorly built and unreliable they are. It’s the same amoeba cell mentality that underpins racism and cultural stereotypes.

Conventional wisdom is that every main line auto company needs a BMW/Merc competitor. Maserati is not that and PSA products are not yet ready for US market.

Again, its only conventional wisdom, but I could see no brands being “lost” but there being global brands (Alfa, Maserati, Jeep) and then a hodgepodge of regional…

And Maserati is firm on not adding all-electrics.

Fiat is exiting the North American market for sure. Alfa and Maserati are definitely not. Based on the marketing information already being put out into the public for this car, it’s going to be shown in May of 2020 and will absolutely be available in the North American market. Speculation can only go so far, but…

It’s going to be a low volume supercar built by Maserati. It’ll sell in The States.

Saw a Stelvio in brown the other day, looked fantastic.

I know a local guy with one of these in this exact color. It’s actually stunning.

I’ve got a Vesuvio gray Guilia right now, and the lease is ending in spring.

fuck that, if i’m stuck on a plane for 12 hours I WILL take my shoes off.

I came here for the comments...

Sounds like a GM smallblock with an automatic...

Bears fan here. Go ahead with the Packers ownership.

Hush, if more people buy Quadrifoglios I will have more spare parts. Also, no one in the QV forums have had the issues CD and Consumer Reports reported. Mines been a reliable daily.

Alfa Romeo Guilia Quadrifoglio. There is no substitute and they are not any more problem prone than an M3 or C63S.

mods are asleep, post alfa content

When I was around 11 years old, I drove a combine harvester and harvested a field.

I grew up on a farm in SD, so I’ve got lots of experience.
