Let me adjust your statement. There is only actually 2 car lines, as you will never find a 4C. You can get the Giulia sedan or the Stelvio SUV, which look exactly like any other sedan or SUV on the road. Prices starting in the 40s. Or, if you want a decent engine and 4 wheel drive, you can get the exact same cars with those items for twice as much. What a line up! Never been so unexcited in my life. And you just KNOW they are a maintenance nightmare waiting to happen. At this rate, I give Alfa about 5 more years in this country before they pull out again.

@dommy114

@@ToyKingWonder To be fair, the 4C was discontinued, and the Giulia and Stelvio are practically the same vehicle. May as well say they make 1 car. Don't agree with you about the looks. The only QV with AWD is the Stelvio, not the Giulia QV. You are stuck with the 2.0 if you want AWD in a Giulia. No Alfa Romeo offers 4-wheel drive. For the money, the Giulia and Stelvio are perfectly competitive against the German options. Having owned both, I prefer the Alfa. Absolutely 0 issues, which I can't say for my BMWs or Jaguar. The point is, Alfa is horrendously mismanaged. The Giulia is, in essence, a Ferrari design, which has been adapted to an SUV platform and watered down with a 2.0 turbo.

I love his "car guy" attitude but what really impresses me is that he is a down to earth unpretentious man who could be full of himself but has chosen a more meaningful role in his life after "Tonight". It's no wonder Johnny gave him his dad's car. I am the same age as Jay and we grew up about 30 miles apart from each other (I don't know nor have ever met him - but wish I had).

As someone who works in sales and also loves Alfa, this Larry dude makes me want to cry.

We had 2 4C's at our track. Part of the House Track fleet. We installed front camber blocks and stage 2'd the ECU. Other than that, the 4C's remained stock. The Stage 2 tune on the ECU really woke the chassis up. The manual steering would tire you out after a strong 20 min session. And if you over drove the car into a corner and lost the rear a bit, and caused it to snap back on you, the steering wheel would whip spin out of your hands.. hurt like hell! One of the cheapest track vehicles in the fleet on consumables. Brakes are FIAT Chrysler, and last an unbelievable amount of track time. The only issue we had with both was from the Blow Off Valve, the rubber bladder in it would rip and leak. Easy cheap fix. Never skipped a beat.. but one of the most painful in terms of how it would leave your body bruised up after 80-100 laps. Unforgiving.

Thank you and holy cow what an absolutely gorgeous car! I mean, stunning color, amazing design and just when you thought every wheel design known to mankind has been done, Alfa presents something so beautiful, unique and compelling. Gorgeous, gorgeous car, even though it's been around since 2013 (in coupe version and 2015 in Spider version) it still looks as fresh, unique and as incredible today as it did years ago.

I just found it curious that Jay had to practically pry information from the guy who should be the standard bearer for the brand in N.A.. Could have perhaps strapped Larry to a chair and shined an arc light on his head, forcing him to reluctantly share more information about the car and its development.

Damn Larry, you couldn't contain your excitement right?

For the love of god someone bring back the true manual transmission in a sport car . Clutch and a Stick, light weight, turbo and a true manual would have me sold. Even Jay asked if it has a manual. He would be over the moon excited if he seen a “old school stick”

I once saw an 8c on the road in the same color. They are truly beautiful. Video doesnt make them justice. 🤗
