God this car looks aggressive. Love those wheels in that blue colour combination because they make the car so sexy. It might be a little too extreme for everyday use but I imagine most people with extra cash to spend will buy this Giulia Quadrafoglio as a second or third car.
I may only have the Ti sport but it drives like a 4 door Miata. They don’t lie about the perfect balance. She is a point and shoot weapon on a twisty road.
@@j3rmy916 new Alfas steped up the game in relayability, some say if you maintain it normaly it may be even better than germans, suposedly it doesnt have ptoblems with timing chain like germans do, idk
I own both and they are really two different beasts....the 2017 Ghibli is WAY IMPROVED over earlier versions but it's still needs to go on a diet.....It is heavy and drives heavy...the Quadrifoglio is perfectly balanced and has the best steering I've ever experienced.....it's set up is perfect....D
verzekeringsadviseur just the opposite. this chassis is only here because they plan to share it between multiple vehicles. otherwise it'd be wayyyy too expensive to develop for a niche brand. only the quadrifoglio utilizes the carbon fiber driveshaft and hood iirc.
If Motorweek hit 3.8 & 12.0 @120, that means with the right DA, Temp, & DRIVER it will hit 3.5 & 11.7, & with a set of DR's this is a 11.3 car..WELL DONE ALPHA!! this has to be top 5 Production 6Cyl Engines ever produced. Especially considering it's only 2.9Liters, & not 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, or 4.0
It's pretty, but the back wheels want to pass the front wheels just a little too often for me. And for $73,595, does it come bundled with your own mechanic?
So this is my fifth Alfa....all have been bulletproof with proper maintenance....Don't get me started on M 3's suffering from Sub frame cracks and bad fuel pumps and worse of all catching on fire...Don't drink the German Kool Aid son....BMW and reliability are mutually exclusive....
my only disappointment with this car is the lack of a sunroof option , I could care less about the weight saving . the m3 and c amg both have the option for a sunroof .
They were serious about creating a car that was dynamic and properly balanced....rear seats don't fold forward to save the weight of the hinges and mechanism required to do that....Hood and roof are Carbon Fiber...this car is no BS...if you want a sunroof, get the 4 C Spider !!!!
I live in Europe where we see modern Alfa´s all the time and those days are gone, they really are up to snuff now. In the past you would have been right.
this is false: a single australian tester found a programming bug with remote key engine start. it would drive but in safe mode. so not stranded. they tested a first-production model, at this time the problem could have been corrected with many software updates that have been released.
So you like ridiculously confusing numerals instead ? Let me get this straight...for years the 3 series was a 2 door car...now it's a 4 door and the 4 has 2 doors ???!!!!! That really makes sense...
No you don't. There are features on the V6 that are unique. Features that require the engine to be designed from clean slate. Like the ability to turn off half of the cylinders in economy mode. Not a new idea, but it's the first time someone manages to do it to these extents. One side of the engine completely turns off when power is not required. And this is not something that you can add as an afterthought or a modification. It requires a new design from scratch. Both engines were designed by the same guy, hence the many similarities: the angle (90 deg.), the cylinders, yes they are almost the same. But the ideas are completely different. Nobody at Ferrari really cares about economy anyway, so the V8 has none of the features that make the V6 unique. When Gianluca Pivetti moved from Ferrari to Alfa, he met new challenges. In Ferrari you just care about performance. Production and operational costs are kind of irrelevant. The cars aren't going to be cheap anyway, price isn't an issue (not the main issue for sure). That's not true in Alfa. Alfa makes cars that you can use everyday with a great sport "flavour" to them, but still not supercars (and not at a superprice). So you can say that the building blocks of the two engines are the same, but the results are completely different.
Wow, this guy has the most American voice ever.
Great car, well done Alfa
THAT EXHAUST...........THAT SEXY, SEXY EXHAUST!!!!!!!
What an exhaust note!

I have one. Daily commuter. In "A" mode it is actually VERY tame, almost boring. My Saab 9-5 winter beater is faster when the Alfa is in A mode.
Now if it only had a stick I'd be in love.

Hows the reliability and maintenance?
@@j3rmy916 no issues as far as reliability. Maintenance is step up from regular car for example oil/filter change normally $75 for Guilia $120.

I need this car in my life , nice review
i got the previous model the 159 and its pretty reliable.all that matters is the dealership how they take care of you
good review as usual motorweek
Visually striking and RWD. I like
thank you Fiat chrysler you brough alfa romeo returns
This over the shitty Maserati ghibli any day
Different segment

now this is a real car , and no wonder its italian not yank made.
Say hello to the new Charger, Challenger, & 300 platform.
What, you are tempted by the bigger cup holders?
Super 19kh that would be interesting
Hopefully the if they do base the Challenger in this chassis, they can actually turn
don't you think that this platform is to sophisticated and expensive? I believe they have even used carbon fibre in it.

What an attractive car. Lol to anybody who chooses a Lexus, MB, BMW, or any other cookie cutter sedan over this.
WANT!!
Yeah, me too - but my wife would kill me.
Definitely Would like One in Blue Too 😁😚💕 1:26

H Mack Alfa
UGH....ALFA...not Alpha !!!!
I can attest. I own one.
The presenter's tv-pitch-man manner is grating.
Bmwish styling. Not bad looking. Very sleek for sure. A beast 💪. As quick as a BMW m5.
Boys with Toys!
I've tried it, you guys do the same, it's the best drive experience ever
I love mine in Rossi red. I may or may not have had it up to 147 mph. I hate to use a cleche but it steers like its on rails.
I've yet too hear a 6 cylinder turbo that sounds good
dflet03 rb’s sound good. pretty much all turbo inline 6's. fabspeed makes the new 911 sound good too
Ahh ! A sleeper
It isn't nearly as ugly as the BMW, so they don't compete.
the 4c flopped
Yeah but does it have a volt meter and oil temp gauge?
FINALLY!!!!!!! thank you for upgrading your damn cameras! your videos no longer look like they were filmed in the 80's-90's
Really irks me modern sports cars don't come with a 3rd pedal.We wouldn't have to hear most of these backhanded compliments with a manual transmission
wheres the manual?
Not worth it. From other reviews the optional manuals are pretty bad
manual it's aviable only in the Europe
F 1 technology son....
If this car came with a manual in the US, I would have higher interest. BMW M3 still top on my list because it's an M3 and manual is an option.
Wow. Haven't seen Motorweek for years now. Glad to see John Davis!
Boring review! As if you read a magazine with all the info?
It's pretty, but the back wheels want to pass the front wheels just a little too often for me. And for $73,595, does it come bundled with your own mechanic?

Alpha shots fired well done!!!!!
why you don't have do the slalom and braking test???
Because BMW buys ads and they were beyond embarrassed in those tests....
my only disappointment with this car is the lack of a sunroof option , I could care less about the weight saving . the m3 and c amg both have the option for a sunroof .

See its funny, I have sunroofs in my other two cars and have this Alfa. I never use the sunroofs and they all end up leaking. Sunroofs are overrated.
why's it seem like motor week still use broadcast equipment for the 90s?
its2realj that's why I had to stop watching the video
Its not Motorweek without John Davis screaming into a cheap microphone. I'M JOHN DAVIS! WELCOME TO MOTORWEEK!!!!
Nice helmet Ben.
Lease, not buy.
Bought it without a test drive....Driving M3 and M4 drivers crazy at every corner....FORZA ALFA BABY
eye candy
The car)
I'd still prefer Porsche, but if I was looking for a coupe/sedan type...this is it.
Porsche is ugly and soulless.
Protector of the Republic hmmm..I get it...Roman Legion thing.
Porsche = Volkswagen
Alfa = Ferrari
I like the second relationship better.....
Alfa = Ferrari
Porsche = VW......ALL DAY LONG....and twice on Sunday....
Alfa = Ferrari
Porsche = Volkswagen
🤧😰😵😵
Sweet design and color. You better start speaking Italian to talk to your Service Rep.
You two will be seeing each other. A lot.
I live in Europe where we see modern Alfa´s all the time and those days are gone, they really are up to snuff now. In the past you would have been right.
The American press has already reported a couple of fleet vehicles dying on the road. Don't expect competitive quality out of the box.
Which is why it's never a good idea to buy a new model. I'll wait and see.
this is false: a single australian tester found a programming bug with remote key engine start. it would drive but in safe mode. so not stranded. they tested a first-production model, at this time the problem could have been corrected with many software updates that have been released.
Who said anything about Austrian testers?
John's turning into a carrot .
I see you, Cadillac Escalade! Can't wait for that track test! 😂
Who TF names these cars? SMh
Miguel Ircontar uhm, Giulia is actially an italian name.... the car is italian.... you know
So you like ridiculously confusing numerals instead ? Let me get this straight...for years the 3 series was a 2 door car...now it's a 4 door and the 4 has 2 doors ???!!!!! That really makes sense...
brake by wire fk that
F 1 technology son.....
BMW numb steering and souless drive....fk that !!!
Nobody even noticed that a Kia Forte has the same wheel design as this lol, well at least my sisters boyfriends Forte Koup does. I see you Alfa jk jk
Luvia...does your sister's boyfriend have a BMW ? I'll bet he does...enjoy...
Unfortunately the front grill is ugly , maybe distinctive but ugly
Spend a little more and get a CTSV
and try to keep up with the Alfa...I think not...
Ferrari derived engire? Really? The engine was designed by Alfa.
if you take ferrari california V8 engine and cut two cilinders you get this engine. Coincidence? I dont think so.
No you don't.

TheMule71 The chief engineer for the guilia previously worked for Ferrari.
Entire design team headed by Ferrari engineers...that's why they blew the Germans away right out of the box
