Looks really fun. I could see replacing our 500 Abarth with that when the time comes but only if I can get a good deal on a new one. I really like how the new Alfa's look. Very unique cars. Not sure the RWD would be the best choice in Seattle with our weather but it would be really fun. I have though about doing a Golf R to replace the Abarth in a few years when the extended warranty is through but I like the look of the 2 door hatch over the 4 door.

I don't know if their reputation (beyond some teething pains from bad software in the Quadrofoglio) is deserved as it was earned 20+ years ago. I really like the look and have always had a soft spot for Guiliettas and Renault Megane's when I go to Europe. They look like neat cars. I think it would be interesting to see what kind of price and power level they offer here.

I really, really want to want a Giulia Quad after driving one. There are many owners who haven't had issues, but plenty more who have had a lot. That's something I would consider putting up with on a fun-only, occasional 2nd car, but as a practical daily driver sedan, I just can't get comfortable with the risk.

That grill is the most hideous grill on the market in my opinion. And I am not wrong .. cause again, personal preference. I hate all that is the looks of the Scion xB and xA, but those owners hate the tC. I know a number of folks that think the S2k is ugly as well. Different strokes for different folks. I mean, some folks loved the Aztek :P

Lol. I worked with a guy that was on his second one. However, to give him credit, he even said he hated the looks, but he could get one with almost no miles on it for about $6k, cause no one liked them! And he didnt care if it happened to get dinged up in the parking lot. I guess I was the dumb one for laughing when he pulled in with it!

Okay, well, it's not even a year old so 
and I drive the snot out of it.
My BMW had issues within its first year, and my S2000 had issues at 30k miles.
In my experience cars that are going to cause headaches tend to do so very quickly, usually within the first few months. I'm not worried, or scared in the slightest.

Alfa buyers are driven by passion over rationality. They want a drivers car with what they see as stunning looks. For those who want to rationalize their purchase first; there are plenty of options for them.
