Professional journalist) said it gave the most driving satisfaction, bar none, for the category, including M cars, AMG cars, and V cars, all of which he's spent much seat time in.
The Alfa Romeo Quadrifoglio has finally landed in North America
Surprisingly compliant, docile and comfortable when just tooling around or commuting, yet ferocious and seriously fast, both in a straight line and on curvy roads, the Quadrifoglio ticks all the boxes (except limousine like rear leg room)...
Beautiful beast!
Was always a sucker for Alfa and this has potential for smaller family which is nice Also nice is that grey charmer on Shell station How do you like that one Cheers D
A wonderfu alternative to the Germans.
If the QF came with AWD, it would instantly be up there. A bit risky going RWD with such power nowadays (from a marketing standpoint), even though it is much more pleasurable to drive it. Amazing machine otherwise.
We could have used FWD yesterday...
It got stuck at a precarious cliff side while trying to get that second to last shot (in fact we missed some SPECTACULAR potential shots trying to get it out without risking rolling down the hill...) But that said, unless one plans to offroad it, I still ...
Lovely car :)
Wonderful piece and finally an Alfa that does not need to shy away from any competition. Jury still out on how successful it will be, though...
Interestingly, it got as much attention (or more...)
Next to the 4C...even a product strategist for Toyota was smitten. The general buying public? Yes, that awaits to be seen. But nothing AGAINST success was obvious...
Big nuts required
This is the beast, the engine has seen Ferrari's touch, like everything else in this car. I'm not a pro driver, but i've been told, from those used to drive German cars (BMW, audi, mercedes) that even the 180 CV diesel is funny to drive. The balance, the ...

Indeed a good sign for Italian automotive
Don't forget what's coming next. Germans should feel a little threat to their undisputed reign ( so far). My dream is to see, in the future, a new Delta HF ...
And rwd!!
Superb move from Fiat! It will be a pleasure to drive it. And as long as the ESP en TC work in \'normal\' mode why not?
They addressed the "cheap switchgear" complaints against the 4c
And it is amazingly quiet and docile in "normal" mode, but a beast in D or R mode... But of course there is more noticeable body roll due to the higher profile and stance compared to the 4C.
Are you saying I should skip the 4C
I really like the looks of it, hope to test drive one soon.
No you should seriously consider it. But it is not a practical car.
Passionate purist designs seldom are. And we love them for that.
From what I've read and heard, a great car.
And a true competitor to the likes of BMW M, AMG and the Audi RS series. I\'m a BMW M fan (more so the prior generations), but I see this as a positive for the industry. Competition is good. I haven\'t driven the Alpha, but I would have liked to see a tru...
I had a debate with the automotive journo, he was sure the RS7 has a DCT
But the very early one I had for a week was a ZF slushbox. I loved it in the Audi, I loved it in the Alfa. Not sure if they are the same base tranni but it is quick enough, precise enough, and good enough for me. Of course for serious performance driving ...
Very pretty...
As if the ads on the Superbowl weren't enough! I'm certainly not tired yet of looking at this car!
