I missed this thread before. Congratulations, and WELCOME to the Dark Side!
There is something about the Alfa that will get under your skin. You'll find, on the Giulia forum, several members who bought one after their good experience with the 4C. I think that having this car and the Z in your stable, you have the perfect set (and perhaps a tough decision every day!!!!).
The only caveat is that Alfa (the company) can be a pain to deal with. Some dealerships are amazing, but there are a number that don't get a good rep. Head office in Italy is terrible. Sounds like you found a good store to work with, but don't get frustrated when you don't hear back about the status of your order, delivery date, etc. That's corporate's issue. They just haven't got their head around this whole "communicate with the customer" thing. After all, it's the 1950's, right? ;-) Want to see them have a total breakdown, ask them about the "European Delivery" option. Hint: there isn't one.
But I promise you, once they give you the keys, you'll forget any difficulties you might have had with pre-delivery service.
Now go out and print yourself one of these tee shirts (see attachments), to celebrate!
