Mercedes C63 AMG vs Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio - This is the one I'd buy and why
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2022
- Two of the most potent mid size sedans within the last 5 years. We’re going to go over the base specs and then of course, analyze both designs. I’m going to let you know which one I personally would buy and you be the judge if I’m right or wrong.
In the red corner: Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio:
Powered by a Ferrari derived twin-turbocharged V-6 with 505hp and 443 lb-ft of torque, this Italian beauty packs some punch. 0-60mp is completed in a blistering 3.6 seconds with a top speed of 191mph. Base price - $73,500
In the blue corner: Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Sedan:
Mercedes slaps two more cylinders in their engine with this twin-turbocharged V-8 but it’s stable contains two horses less than the Alfa with 503 hp. However you get more torque with the V8 at 516 lb-ft of it on demand. 0-60 mph is almost identical at 3.7 seconds and the top speed is 180 mph. Base price for the C63 sedan is the same as the Alfa at $73,500.

Both technical masterpieces, both road legal track demons with F1 DNA, both beautiful works of art. If you were offered the keys to both but could only pick one, what would you be driving home?
Giulia is such a no-nonsense kind of driver's car, and i'd pick it any day over it's german counterparts. Especially in metallic green with yellow brake calipers
Giulia is just a piece or art, more you see it and more you like it, there is no car in this segment more beautiful than Giulia
giulia's exterior with bmw interior
@@newka5472 i think it too, bmw interiors are my favourite by years, also the current interior of 3 series are on point, traditional design with current technologies, better then 2 tablets of mercedes from my point of view
I think the Giulia is kinda overrated. Its a nice looking car but nothing near "art".
@@lennard2544 in this segment it is art for sure
Definitely not art sorry but still pretty
I'd definitely go with Alfa. I owned a Brera. Not that I'm an Alfisti to the core but I think their design is a lot more compelling than what Germans make. The only thing I wish was better with Alfas is quality.
i work now for 3 years in an Alfa Romeo dealership, and I gotta admit the Giulia never gets boring. Everyday when i look at this beauty it never gets boring, so for me its the Giulia i'd pick. and great video bud!
Alfa is definitively underrated. The Giulia is the best driver-focused midsize sport sedan. It looks gorgeous, it handles amazing, it sound good... Plus, if you can find some early models, you can have it with a manual. I would chose the Alfa (even in the base trims) not only over the Merc, but over every other midsize sedan.
There is literally no Alfa Romeo in existence that suffers design conflict of other new gen vehicles to look like blobs on wheels. There's something in it's inverted triangle grille that doesn't let the rest of the car to go off balance in design.
What about reliability?
@@marshallc.t.2554 I've owned 2 Giulia's. The TI Sport and now the Quadrifoglio. No reliability issues. Period. I've also owned several German vehicles including an F80 M3, SQ5, GTI, and Golf R to name a few. Alfa is no less reliable in it's class.
@@raphaeledwards thank you for your reply.
Looks and sound is subjective. To me, Alfa is ugly as heck, even back in the 80s they were ugly, interior is poorly designed and put together, reliable is why Alfa can't sell and always will suffer. The only reason the Guila made a big splash as because Ferrari helped with the motor. NOT any longer though. I drove this, the C63s, M5, and E63s before I decided that hands down, the Alfa was at the bottom and ended up with my w212 E63s.
Can u make a dedicated video specifically on a design launguages of an Italian, german, british, Japanese and American cars. The in-depth comparison among their designs and how did culture of their respective countries influenced them as they are.
This would make for a very interesting video
This
Very good idea 👍🏼
Alfa is the coolest car company easily
Logo and name wise + coolest grill
It's DNA is racing.
Can you do the W204 C63 AMG coupe vs the Audi RS5 of the same era next please
Alfa is a standout. Not just in design, also in the driving experience. It stands out from the germans.
Sadly Alfa badge has a bad reliability reputation and doesn't have the blingy tech gizmos of germans and nicer materials which is what most people want in this segment.
I'd rather choose to drive a rolling art than a rolling gadget which despite its brand status quo ends up a blob from a distance.
I agree with the bad reliability in the past (especially when you dont service it) and the missing tech gizmos but the quality is good nowadays, especially since the 2020 models. Really i have Mercedes and Audi friends and they dont see a issue in the quality of my Giulia (2018). My best friend is a BMW freak and he likes the car a lot.
Reliability of current Alfa's shares nothing with the old management from the late 80's to late 90's. Have fun Owning an AMG car after Warranty because you will understand very quickly the MERC is a far more expensive money pit.
I don't agree entirely it is the German marques that are losing their reputation for reliability Alfa and Lancia are on an upward trajectory with better results each year ranking highly in league tables.
4:50 I do agree with you. Previous E/C/S-Class looks more Mercedes-esque for me than the latest ones
Alfa Romeo all day long!
I’m 21 driving an Alfa Romeo Giulia ti sport in Chicago.. Trust me ..
This car is something else.
Everyone stares 24/7.
I was always fond of the Alfa...especially back in the 80’s when they had the Milano...I really wanted one but my pops tried to talk me into getting a Jetta. They resembled each other & the Jetta wasn’t as big of a mechanical nightmare😂🤷🏾♂️ !
The grill was flipped so that the bumper virtually pointed on the upper edge, instead of on the mid plane. This probably to make it look more like an SUV front end so that frightened customers would feel safe in it
Great take! Love your videos and how well you explain the designs. I have a 2019 Guila Ti sport, got an amazing deal on it. Had a 2017 430i BMW Gran coupe and without a doubt I just love my Alfa so much more from the look to the drive.My next car will definitely be the Quad. Keep up the great videos!!
The new Mercedes models actually still have indications of the models in the headlight, they’re just small LED dots now instead of the stripes.
That Mercedes is the last one made with the words ‘presence, muscle and power’ in mind, I like the ones of that era. Now, the Alfa… That’s a beautiful machine, I really like the entirety of it, it’s beefy yet has flow, it has an imposing stance without being aggressive… Imagine if Stellantis had it it’s way and put inside a Hemi 392
that would be bad. Hemi's belong in Muscle cars and I love Hemi's but it's too big and heavy for an Alfa.
I love the way you made the intro for both cars.
I too don't like the newer Mercedez design languages, and I think the C class you picked is a good contender for the Alfa, but I still easily prefer the Alfa; The design is one of the most beautiful modern sport sedans, one of the best looking rear ends, that gorgeous Ferrari-derived V6.. just a better driver's car in general!
Ferrari Engine block derived, the rest of the internals were changed. Then again the Engineers that designed this engine were the same guys responsible for the 458, La Ferrari etc... So that explains all the Ferrari DNA in that engine. That engine is a master piece of automotive engineering.
The pandemic came and taught everyone the importance of having multiple stream of income, unfortunately having a nice paying job doesn't mean you are financial secured anymore. So we all need to put in an etra-income earning chance, like investment.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable your earn more money, I don't know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or crypto and stocks.
Yeah!! It would be more beneficial and yield more profit if you actually trade on Cryptocurrency I've been trading since the dip, I've made so much profit trading
Crypto is bringing a different revolution in the world economy. People who are optimistic investors earn consistently.... Others will just sit and watch!
I've always wanted to trade on Crypto but got confused with the fluctuations in price
@@sophie3502 I trade with Mr Andrew Jordan, and I must say he makes money making seem a whole lot easier right now I'm a single parent and I pay the bills comfortably since I met Andrew Jordan, He's absolutely amazing and I'd recommend him for any novice in crypto
I own the Guilia, it's a master class.
Alfa was planning on a coupe version of this with a GTV name plate, but it got scrapped. There's plenty of design pics of it on Google. Car magazines have done articles on it. I wish it would be made though!!
Yes thanks to that idiot Mike Manley.
Could you do a design analysis on the F82 M4? To me that car is absolutely perfect, harmonizing the best of past and present/future together.
I’ve been lucky to have someone pretty frequently parking their Montreal Green Giulia right outside the lobby of my apartment building :)) always a lovely sight to start the day off with
As an owner of a Alfa Romeo Brera (coupe version of the 159) I would love to see you making a coupe version of the Giulia on the sketch monkey channel.
I drive a alfa romeo gulia 2.2 sprint.
I would always go with alfa romeo.
Its the best in my option
A design battle featuring the E63s and the BMW M5 Comp would be nice.
Please make a video about the design of the F80 M3
Please do aftermarket aero parts like mansory, brabus, Techart, ABT, topcar etc…0
I drove the M3, the C63s (lot nicer to drive compared to te M3) but ultimately the Giulia was the clear winner for me. It just makes you feel more special and I can't really explain it but to me it feels more like a with passion created automobile. Sounds weird maybe but that's how I feld about it. I own the car for a couple of years now and stil love it.
Which M3? The F80 or G80?
@@DonViToCRLNE The F80 because it was to try out what car to buy 3 year's ago.
@@dirkcuypers6669 and the heavier Mercedes was better to drive?
@@DonViToCRLNE i'm not lewis Hamilton and the moment the difference of weight between these cars are noticeable you should be on track because you'll be on the limit of the cars. (And far beyond mine) for street use the suspension of the BMW was to stiff for me. I do like the exterior of the F80 M3 more than the AMG to be honest.
@@dirkcuypers6669 ok yes the Mercedes is more comfortable.
The giulia as they are both the same in reliability. The giulia also has the "special" factor and is better value for money. The Alfa dealership is next to my house aswell. However, The Merc has more tech but I think the face-lift in the Giulia will solve that!
We all knew it was an easy win for the Alfa
I'd choose:
Sedan Alfa (Sportier proportions)
Coupe C class
Offtopic, I really love the prevouis generation CLA, it has a killer sloping shoulder line
Would love to see a video of you turning the alpha into a coup
The Giulia Embodies an Enthusiast’s Sports Sedan!!!
I think you should have included the F80 BMW M3 as well, since it was the car the both Alfa and Merc were built to compete with
Thanks - now I the like the design of the w205 C-class a bit better! It has a classy look to it.
(It's difficult to appreciate, when most of them driving around here are boring Diesel models, in shades of grey with tiny wheels.)
However that Giulia really is a great design for a modern car, not as distinctive as the old 159, but still outstanding and most importantly: it's finally RWD!
7:12 A'ight I'm with you about making the Giulia as a coupe to see how it looks for next video 👀
What about the idea of the Alfa romeo estate!
Yes sir I completely agree with you with the Mercedes 2020 and 2021 design go check out the 2017-2020 Mercedes e class coupe and the 2021 version pls :)
Yea, here in Italy instead we see Giulia's pretty often (obviously)
But not the quadrifoglio version sadly
Something to do with the huge price difference to the 4-cylinder models.
Do the Automecca Sports Van
Tbh, this was a german comparison. Because alfa romeo has german thinking with the giulia model. Thats why I think it looks so good
Giulia! I bought one :)
The Mercedes taillights look like an afterthought and don't match the headlamp shapes like the Alfa. Winner: Alfa.
I’ve owned 7 Alfas and I’d buy the Alfa in this comparison easily. Although I’m not really a fan of Giulia to start with in 4 door. If it was a coupe yes. Also Alfas have made mostly beautiful cars except for the front end of the Giulia I’m not a fan of it
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We need alfa 159 redesign
Mercedes still has somting like the lines but it is not that clear. There are vertical lines in the head lights the C has 1 the E has 2 and the S has 3. But they are not that visible
I love Giulia, the car😉
If you wanted to know the name of the triangular front shield on alfas, its called scudetto. Forza Alfa!
As a daily driver, I'd buy the MB but the Alfa is far sexier looking and while I love the AMG v8, that Alfa V6 sounds amazing too.
Why as a daily would you choose yen Mercedes?
@@SosaKinkos Service and parts. Not a lot of Alfa shops where I live.
@@monolith2001 makes sense. I drive almost 30 minutes to get to one haha
@@monolith2001 Yep sadly that is the reality, Alfa dealer network is not even close to being as vast as MERC.
Gullia it the cool and my the most beautiful car😍
Giulia GTA Quadrifolio GTA M
Alfa, without a doubt
Giulia🍀🔥
You don't see an Alfa Romeo everyday. I guess that answers your question.
Whenever you need an example for a bad design cue, just include a BMW image
I don't understand why you talk all the video about the design and then in the end you mention engines, power...that shouldn't matter in this video, excluding the fact that I love the Giulia
My heart the ALFA My head the MERC
Giulia eccezionale
Funny how the c class is now mid size sedan
The Mercedes has lost that look of solidity quality, and the new design language looks cheap compared to its predecessors particularly the 1982 190 by Bruno Sacco. The Alfa looks better resolved with more complexity the Alfa actually looks visually better quality. As a final note, I wish to mention as a Lancia fan, hoping to see a return in this segment for this once-great marque like the Dedra and Prisma we need more Italian competition in this segment, and only the Italian marques can compete with the German trio which quite frankly has become so boring predictable dominant please Stellantis group give us a Lancia revival and shake things up!
Alfa is the beauty 😍
Ich nehme die Giulia
alfa all day. but on the merc it looks like a merc should a brick
I’d opt for the c63 it looks more organic to me. Don’t get me wrong the Alfa is a work of art, however I just feel like the grill clashes too much with the design, I know it’s traditional, but I feel like they could have been integrated more strategically, such as having a smaller shield , and maybe a lower grill, nevertheless it’s still a great design . However if I were to go for the 2020 c63, it would have to be the coupe only because of the rear taillights, also I don’t plan on having anymore then one additional person in my car.
Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio
Alfa please. 😁
Alfa Romeo Giulia it's pure art for me the one of the best car in the world. ( I owned an Alfa Romeo 159 2.0 JTDM 16V DPF Eco, absolutely gorgeous and cool car also )
Everyone loves the alpha, no one buys it. Sad but true…
*alfa not alpha iam a happy owner :) since twoo years
the alfa sounds better. I know this because I got a ride in both.
ofc Alfa
No need to overthink this - Alfa is way prettier
Nothing about that Mercedes is beautiful out elegant to my eyes. It is not ugly either, simply generic and uninspiring. But I like your apologetics and political correctness. 😀👍🖖
I think most recent Mercedes cars are too "smooth" or undefined in the rear, they lack muscle and confidence.
And I've noticed that I don't like cars where the rear lights have not influenced the form af the body, like they might aswell be a sticker. Many mercs and VW's do this, looks really boring and static.
I like the previous design of the C Class better too.
My choice would be the alfa because of the Ferrari engine and the available manual transmission (on older versions)
The engine was made with a former Ferrari engineer Gianluca Pivetti. Its not from Ferrari. But its a privilege to have the same engineer who made the Ferrari V8 for the 488.
@@DonViToCRLNE i thought alfa took the Ferrari California t's engine, took off 2 cylinders, and put it into the giulia
@@ricardolinterna4041 engineering is not so easy, unfortunately. Its the same ,,father" who made the engine, so the similarities are obvious.
@@ricardolinterna4041 They took the Ferrari Block off the California, everything else was re -engineered internally.
Alfa all day long.
Mercedes - reliable.
Europen cars - all unreliable equally
Japanese - most reliable
This is the only Alfa that I have accepted. Every other model is a no for me..... For now
The alfa romeo looks better than the c63. Mercedes just ruined the sharp and sporty look of the older c63s
Alfa For me. Sorry Mercedes you lost it those years.
@Lee Iacoca you can put quality to Alfa too, especially since the 2020 models.
I would choose the C63 AMG for sure. My dad is planning to get one but I'm pretty sure that he'll get the E Class of the same production year as this one.
Yeah ok people in the comments have no taste
Alfa > Merc
Alpha looks better but it will leave you stranded and in tears. MB all the way.
Lol european cars are all unreliable equal.
MB breaks down all the time and is more expensive to maintain, I would know I am a former AMG owner.
Don't be silly Fiat Alfa engines are the best in the world! Mercedes are has-beens in decline Lancia Alfa all the way!
Alfa. I mean just look at it: it's like the Reinassance on four wheels after a sad, boring, terrible and mediocre medieval era.
Sorry but I really don't like the mercedes there.
I just want you to know that the germans underestimate thier hp and 0-60 so technically the Mercedes is faster
Mercedes all day all night
AMG all day everyday. Its better looking in every way plus the v8
Can't wait to read the German fanboys start spewing their "reliability" nonsense....
Meanwhile BMW, Merc, Audi most unreliable cars ever....
Mercedes of course more reliable and much better quality!!!!!!!
Said who? You?🤣
Says the guy that has never owned a 2018-2022 AMG c63. Merc is anything but reliable when the warranty expires. Man these kids are delusional.
A Ferrari derived engine means you'll pay a Ferrari service and maintenance price tag bill. And the questionable build quality. There's a video here on AutoTopNL channel where he was trying to VMax it on autobahn and he had to slow down because of the build quality. The car felt like it was breaking down in pieces
Any of the high HP sedans will require more maintenance than average vehicles. You want to play, you have to pay.
@@rlsedition for that price point expect to have quality build. And also compare the depreciation rate before you part with your hard earned dollars
@@OSINT_Skye Your opinion. Many of the most depreciating cars are the high-performance German vehicles. Quality builds? Germany does well there and leaves any design passion on the sidewalk. Have you even driven a current Alfa? I didn't think so.
The Giulia exterior is better looking than any of the German brands, even at some 6 years old. Good design is timeless. Audi has arguably the best German designs, followed by Mercedes and lastly, BMW. Most current BMW sedans are ghastly to look at.
Never seen so much BS. First of all show us AutoTopNLs Video because i know all of them. Then the engine was made with a former engineer of Ferrari Gianluca Pivetti, its not a Ferrari engine and Giulias service & maintenance costs are a lot lower than german brands (i can guarantee that for germany and maybe europe). A headline of one of many german car magazines ,, Alfa Giulia ein sehr, sehr gutes Auto" or ,,Alfa Romeo Stelvio, so geht Premium!" translate this and then tell us. I recommend to inform better about cars reliability. Europeans are all bad equal, the most reliable are japanese, accept it.
@@DonViToCRLNE What BS? I'd never heard of AutoTopNL, probably because it's focused on the European customer. The team that created the Giulia/Stelvio was comprised of many Ferrari engineers, but I didn't say the QV engine was a Ferrari powerplant, nor does Alfa in their promotional literature.
I don't contest that the Japanese and Koreans "own" vehicle build quality and reliability, but that's not my major criteria when I make an automotive purchase; if it was I'd buy a Corolla. Right now there's not one Asian vehicle I have any interest in, partly as I don't care for their design executions, the other is their cars don't incite any passion.
pointless video :D
Merc = Over rated Uber CRAP
Alfa = FERRARI

the mercedes is horrible and boring.
