[WTFH]

No, I don't think I will pass. Might have to buy.

yes but really do you not just want the hot Guilia?

I mean lets face it beefed up SUV's are for people with tiny dongs.

Caption 2 claims it's a V8, photo 5 shows a V6. The articles about as reliable as their cars.

Maybe they estimate that two out of the eight cylinders won't be working at any given time.

What an ugly thing.

The Giulia (note the spelling) is great if you live in a town with nice flat roads.
I've priced on up at £62k.

I looked at the Levante in the summer and it was very good. The Stelvio is now a matter of pricing.
Owning an Alfa is like dating a supermodel. She might be high maintenance, she might not be the most practical, but you're dating a supermodel.

As for appendage size, my wife is happy, so do I care about whether some random blob on the internet thinks it's small or not?

Depends on the pricepoint surely?

Will it be going up against the Macan Turbo, for example? That does 0-60 in 4.4 and starts at £68k while the top end Cayenne does 0-60 in 4.1 and starts at £119k

The Jag F-Pace doesn't have a high performance model yet, but the Merc GLC AMG starts at £48k but "only" gets you to 60 in 4.9 seconds.

Good looking vehicle, but they need to price it correctly.

[WTFH]

It's going up against the Macan Turbo, I would expect it to be around £75k.
Given that the Giulia has set a new record on the Nurburgring (beating the new Panamera as the fastest saloon car, Panamera: 7.38, Giulia: 7.32), it's got the pedigree.

AYSYCOTBAC?

Price? If you need to ask, you're a disguised permie.

You're an undisguised wankpuffin. Of course price counts, I'm a Northerner first, contractor second.
