The GXP G8 is a POS I agree, thats my point...but that POS looks similar to the Alfa which honestly should look much better since your paying a TON more. That POS G8 also has 415 Hp versus the Alfa Ti version of the Giulia which if I am not mistaken has 280 Hp ..The GXP G8 did 0 to 60 in 4.5 seconds vs the TI doing over 5 seconds and quarter mile times? G8 13.0 seconds vs Ti 13.6....The GXP G8 also did Nurburgring in 8.30 thats 58 seconds slower than the 70k + version but definitely faster than the Ti version...pretty good for a outdated POS that cost 2.5 X less than the TI and 4x less than the Quadrifoglio.
The Ti is a bargain? Alfa has had a history of unreliability and high cost repair. Typical of Euro garbage...See the consumer reports on how reliable and what a "great bargain" it is...
Consumer Reports' 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Ti Basically Lives at Dealer
That "bargain" just got more expensive. Cost of fixing a euro car just added to our price tag. Cost of fixing a G8 low ...real low. Not to mention the G8 gets a LS3 V8 which is bullet proof and highly reliable not a direct injected carbon build up maintenance problem like the Alfa Ti engine.
I think with the 25k to 58k saved you can make any G8 look as good as the one I posted. Would I buy a G8? No but would I but a G8 over a Ti if I had no other options for 2x less ..YES. ..So for a POS which I agree it is...the G8 makes the Alfa Ti kinda look like a high cost, unreliable, bigger POS.......  |
I didn't say the Ti is the fastest.... I said when you BUY a Ti it's a BARGAIN....
As far as history goes, YOU LEAVE OUT ONE MAJOR FACTOR.... The Giulia has been designed from the ground up.... Now maybe the quad has a brand new engine. But the lower cars have the tiger shark engine which is a reliable motor. Dodge tends to have transmission and electronic issues.... but dodges don't have ZF transmissions...
I mean you can blah blah blah all day about unreliable platforms from two decades ago that have NO BEARING on the Giulia all new design. Or you can wait and see if Alfa indeed hit a homerun.
Overall though. An Alfa is the equivalent of an affordable Ferrari. There's a lot to be said about it's performance. Even if it ends up being a car you trade once the warranty is up? It still kills EVERYTHING out there by a landslide. And that no one can argue.
Consumer Reports has ONE CAR to write about bruh. And it's a first model year. You're not making a case yet. Besides CR calls the Z a nightmare and I've NEVER had ONE problem.
NICE TRY...
