Very likely. My 2 series was well over $50k.

You can get the Genesis G70 with a MT.
https://www.genesis.com/us/en/2019/genesis-g70.html Seems pretty comparable to the Guilia. I agree with others, I would never buy a Alfa but maybe lease one. EDIT: FWIW the MT is my GTI is the easiest and most pleasant MT I have ever owned |

reviews of the g70 with the big engine say its fun in a tailhappy kind of way. Don't know if the big engine can be had with the manual, but it would be worth checking out. Ditto on the GTi (and Golf R).

No, MT is only available with the 2.0T. The Giulia he is considering is 2.0T too though.

I sat in the Giulia also at the auto show. Honestly I thought the G70 had a better interior.

I don't think I could make that switch.
Love the looks of the Alfa. Even considered going to work at the Fiat/Alfa/Maserati store. |
