Damn! That 4C sure is s-e-x-y!

The Alfa is so wild, I love it.

The Giulia... I predict will be the new performance benchmark in the saloon world.

Ferrari tuned... I'm hyped

I wonder what it will cost with options. I can't imagine there will be much in the way of discounts to be had like you can get with the other luxury performance cars.

They're talking about $90k for the tricked model and about $60k for the low end model. Which should have about 400HP.

Looks like the Giulia will make a 328 competitor as well starting with 276 HP.
The go fast model will start at $70k. I would definitely give this car a strong consideration.

The Giulia is launching in its range-topping Quadrifoglio trim, which Alfa Romeo said will have a starting price of “around $70,000.” Remember, this is the version that competes with the BMW M3, Cadillac ATS-V and Mercedes-AMG C63, and with 505 horsepower on tap the Alfa is actually the most powerful and likely the fastest.

The base model, at least here in the United States, will come with 276 hp. This one will compete with the BMW 328i and Mercedes C300. Rear-wheel drive will be standard on all models but an advanced all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring will be available. Other markets should have a diesel option and with any luck we’ll see it here.

If I had the coin, saloon car and power? Supercharged XJ. Doctor friend has one, not quite a Benze 600, but for half the price it's an insane car. Unreal comfort and POWA!!!

The XJ is so plush. Leather wrapped everything.

The great thing about Jaguar is that the depreciation on them is probably the worst in the luxury car world, so you can get a ~3 year old, off-lease, CPO Jaguar for half of the original MSRP or better.
