Awesome!

I see enough model 3’s. They’re hideous. Sorry. I wouldn’t be caught dead driving one.

This car does ooze character. And hopefully not too many gremlins.

+1, that’s a really good price for a warranty on an Alfa!

My rental of one in Germany last summer (covering about 1,200 km) was awesome.
6 SP diesel.

Congratulations, Alex! My pulse quickens every time I walk past a Giulia. Best looking sedan in long, long time. I've read the handling praise as well, sounds like the A5 served its purpose.

Are Alfa's covered by Mopar warranties? I bought a mopar warranty from a dealer in Michigan at pretty much cost.

Yep, it’s a Mopar warranty. I got the pricing from Ziegler’s in Michigan, which the local dealer then matched.

Alex was kind of of to give Clyde and me a test drive last night. We pulled into a parking lot to switch drivers and took the opportunity for a couple photos.

It is a very good looking car.
