RE: Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio: Driven

[scotty435]

The best looking SUV on the market with amazing performance to back it up. Well done Alfa Romeo.

[JerryF]

The article is pure marketing for Alfa. I guess the author is on their payroll.

Don't be silly the Giulia Quadrifoglio as not dropped a penny on the used market in the last year, so why would this?

What is the GFV on the GQ after 36 months?
It must be way more than £18.5k!

[BVB]

Comfortably the top SUV, and almost encroaching on the newly founded Super SUV in the Lamborghini Urus.
The writer of this article seems to be soft as ste however. This is a mans SUV, for driving, not looking at the frilly bits.

[British Beef]

I like the Giulia more in every way.

BUT, could I could easier justify this on grounds of practicality (getting dogs & big junk in the boot) and using more of the Power more of the time With 4wd and British weather.

So although the Giulia is the better car, these will outsell it massively, plus as a stylish SUV it sells on the designer handbag Level too.

Never have I read so much waffle about a car.

I thought the same

Me too.

Also some pretty ugly use of English - "Its conspicuous tallness . . . "

Loving the Quadrifoglio range though!

Look at what you could have won.

Wow! Still I'd prefer the 156 GTA SW in black.

[Oz83]

Looks like a Macan with a nicer face. Not a bad effort.

And if China and the US could sell them they'd make it, but the SUV rules over there.

Um, no. Engi is a peach, but the looks. Just no.

That concept tough... Oh man. Hopefully they make it.

One slight problem. The saloon has a fixed rear bench with no folding options for the seats. Not even a ski flap, for claims of rigidity.

[simonrockman]

Now they need to put that engine in the 4c

[priley]

Such a shame there are no plans for a Sportwagon, it'd be 'shut up and take my money' from me.

[oldtimer2]

If you call a car the Stelvio is not the Stelvio Pass the place you should be showing it off to journalists? The Stelvio Pass is just the place to demonstrate ability to navigate hairpins, climb at speed at altitude and to test the brakes to the limit on the way back down. Driving on the flat at sea level just does not cut it.

i LOVe it!!!!! lol!!!

Indeed, the whole article had a distinct whiff of Troy Queef about it!

"The saloon's preternatural rolling refinement has been mitigated by a broader requirement for model-specific tautness; meaning that even in its default 'Natural' mode on the UAE's smooth roads, the SUV is less inclined to settle so amicably on its 20-inch alloys."

Pleased it wasn't just me then, I thought they had been to the J Clarkson school of bad motoring analogies!

But you still have the whole roof and C and D pillars to keep it all together... Please make it!! With a decent manual gearbox... The latter will never happen
