Saw the Giulia in the flesh for the first time at the NEC this morning, it's much nicer than I was expecting. Very tempting I have to say.

Indeed

Had a chat with a former manager on friday, he made a rather thinly veiled offer i could join him at his new company, including a higher company car budget.. Couldnt help but check how attainable a Giulia would be hehe (interestingly, it would be quite doable, which to me feels insane considering it is a whole class and a half above what ive ever had)

New to the Alfa forum...

I've decided to explore getting one of these to replace my 640d, previously owned a C63 Coupe.

I got an email from Alfa Romeo showing a decent 3% APR PCP deal which I was quite surprised about. I'll be comparing deals directly with an M3 CP and a C63. M3 deals seem the best so far (12-15%) but with 5% APR.

I'm thinking Competizione Red but want to see more pics to see if it's worth the £1750?? Other choices are Vulcano Black or Alfa Red. Other choices:

- Black/Red interior
- The dark circular / clover type alloys
- Red brake calipers
- Tinted windows
- Flat bottom steering wheel

So, next step will be contacting a dealer (Nottingham), I've no experience with Alfa so any tips welcome.

Any PCP deals that are shared on here welcome too.

Normally any Alfa looks fantastic in Competizione Red but the Giulia at the Goodwood Breakfast Club last week just didn't do it for me. Think this is the spec you're looking at and pretty sure this car was a manual as well. Apologies for photo quality.





Hoping the shape will grow on me, might suit the blue or grey better.

Thanks for that - £1,750 is a lot of cash... back to thinking about grey or white...

What is the colour red in all the press images ? Is that just the standard Alfa red? Looks gorgeous!

No it's competizione red in the press shots.

I've order this colour. You really need the sun out to make it look its best.

It looks really flat in those pics, nothing like the paint on the 8c, much more burgundy than red really.

Id probably get the QV in either alfa red or rosso competizione, Blue is a bit understated for a QV. White could be good as well, but is just as expensive as Rosso competizione.

I'd love to see Alfa red next to Competizone

Also new to the Alfa section (Hello!).

I ordered one in September: Comp red, dark spoke 19s, carbon seats and steering wheel, black/red cloth, Harmon Kardon. I´ve also received the letter that says delivery March 17.

I´m hoping that Alfa are being deliberately pessimistic so when it arrives earlier it will be a pleasant surprise. Still, it gives me a chance to save up a bit more!

I believe the "normal" versions are starting to appear in showrooms.

Had a chat with my local dealer today (Nottingham).

He invited me to the Guilia launch next week but told me they won't be getting a QV in for the event. He mentioned that they've sold 10 all due for delivery in March / April 2017 and that they are unlikely to get a demo car until Feb.

I'm not in a huge rush, I want a QV mid 2017 so hopefully it should all work out.

They're not taking any deposits until after Feb so stuffed even if I wanted to order one now, but I don't.

As long as they have the same 3% APR I will be happy.

I saw one at the NEC on Sunday. What a beautiful car! Bit out of my price range at the moment but in a few years. Sorry buyers but I hope they depreciate far and fast driving

Really ?

Grey, White and black are nice for a funeral...

Meanwhile I'll take Competizione Rosso.

White should look mighty tasty on a QV

Grey and Black are indeed funeral cars, anyone considering those should just get blue, at least that makes that 2.0 diesel look somewhat non-boring

Indeed the white does look quite good.

You can kind of see it in this video from shmee... Better at the end than the beginning of the video.

Blue is boring...

I like the colours that can't be had on the lesser models, so maybe I'll just have to put up the £1750 biggrin

The darker colours at least help to lessen the awful visual impact of the huge black grilles/intakes/small animal scoops.
