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!

Lol.... thanks. You are seriously right about which will be the car to choose? The driving experience of the Alfa is second to none. N the Z provides that feel behind the steering wheel that's irreplaceable for a sports car as well. Two different versions of driving perfection.

That ordering process sounds like a nightmare. I've been on my job, checking every Alfa dealership across the country to see if I can find an exact spec Alfa. I'm flexible with colors, but I gotta be on point with the wheel package as Alfa sport package has the SAME EXACT wheel in non-staggered and staggered.
That extra inch of tire will matter. I really want that panoramic sunroof. It adds character to the non clover car.
In the Alfa is be concerned with my tech pkg as I'll use the car to go long distance.

What upsets me is, you have to go Lasso for the seats to recline. I do not want the Alfa as a luxury car. I don't like luxury cars and the chrome accents n loud wheels kill me on the Lusso. Ti sport or bust. But at the same time. This car will be going from Dallas to NY or Dallas to fort Lauderdale often. N this has created quite the dilemma for me. Should I bite the non reclining bullet or what?

It's crazy how when u find perfection, there will always be a caveat to have you in a dilemma. I may buy aftermarket Recaros? This car is too good to pass up!
