Do they sound good? I'm not sure what version I saw today but am guessing it had a under the hood. I really like it.MexicanYarisTK wrote:I kept seeing giulia's every other days, mostly the non sporty ones, which I did not know they would sell it here.Tarspin wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 1:43 pm Couple of interesting sightings today. There was a Colorado in blurple parked up. It looks like a great package but if I were to I'd probably go on the ZR2 pkg in that color, just how I'm wired I guess.
I also drove by the Hype R in weiss, at first I thought it looked very cool but the back end with the wang and little wind barnacles turned me off. I'm glad I pulled the rip cord on that purchase.
Lastly, a Giulia brapped by me. Sounded and looked glorious. I remember when FCA was planning on building this at the Bramledesh plant. They probably should have!

I have seen couple of the sporty ones (clover-leaf?) I think, I know some models in Europe calls sports version that. They sound amazing. But the regular ones seems quiet.

Ah okay, so I probably heard the performance version as suspected.MexicanYarisTK wrote:I have seen couple of the sporty ones (clover-leaf?) I think, I know some models in Europe calls sports version that. They sound amazing. But the regular ones seems quiet.
Hopefully they will be more reliable in the future.

I doubt it. In Turkey, I've been told they start to have problems at 50k kilometers, sounds worse than a VW, they better have a good warranty on those things.Tarspin wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 10:41 pmAh okay, so I probably heard the performance version as suspected.MexicanYarisTK wrote:

About the Giulia, the regular ones start at $37k-39k depending on trim and still get 280 hp but the sporty one called quadrifoglio (quad assuming awd system'd) starts at $72k. Regular Giulia's seems to have a better bang for your buck as opposed to BMW, $40k gets you a 330i with 248hp and a slower 0-60.
Also, scroll down to competitive compare to see the competition. I was mindblown about the regular Giulia. (click performance first next to tech)

The 2.0T Giulia would be an awesome car to own if FCA could build a reliable one. 280HP with an 8AT is just right, and the price is good too.MexicanYarisTK wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2017 11:03 pmI doubt it.

I didn't like the way VW didn't color match the insert part, now that I have a carbon steel gray, matte background blends in well. With my mk6, I've been through black badge with white inserts, then I peeled the plasti-dip and put it over the white insert. And it looked a lot better. Like this, not my car, had to delete my flickr
