That is lovely in Monte Carlo blue. How does the Veloce compare with the QF? I would imagine it’s 90% of the ability ( in the real world) at 70% of the cost. Never driven a Giulia but much, much want on my part
Pretty much exactly as you said. It’s more than fast enough and the low-down torque always surprises.The QF is the hot but mental g/f - the Veloce is the saner but nearly as attractive girl next door.

I was tempted by the QF when I bought my Veloce but for the reasons above I thought for everyday use the Veloce was probably the right choice. I've always had a nagging feeling that I should've gone for the full-on madness of the QF so it's good to read that I've probably made a good choice.
I'm also a big fan of those gold wheels with the Montecarlo Blue. I've been toying with the idea of changing my wheels to a paler gold/champagne with the Misano Blue but can't make up my mind. I'll have to see if I can mock up some images on line.

You made the right choice. My QF would have been a daily driver as I’m moving out of walking distance to my office. After giving it some serious thought I knew that it would be overkill and I’d be racking up mileage & costs without being able to have fun on a relatively short and unexciting commute every day.
The Veloce is brilliant - don’t feel cheated

That’s good to hear about the Veloce. I have one due for delivery next month - it’s on a ferry ATM. Hope it lands soon.The Veloce is brilliant - don’t feel cheated
I couldn’t resist the Alfa red.

Thank you sir! The saloons have a certain charm in my eyes. The donor car was well beyond saving, so didn't feel so bad in having a part of it still live on.
The lower final drive made a noticeable difference in the GTV.
I too think that the Berlinas are underrated . Nice to see an original one in fine fettle.
