If the I59 had RWD Proportions, it would still resemble the Giulia

1. It doesn't.
2. I'm not seeing it. They're both red saloons with an Alfa badge, but they're not that similar to look at.

I don't see how those resemble each other.

On topic: Will the Giulia sold in US only have 510 horsepower engine, or will there be lower HP engines too?

My bad.

The Giulia that has the 510hp motor is the QV which will be the launch Trim level. Lesser Trims will be shown in Geneva. one said to have a Turbo 4 with 275hp

I think the 159 looks better, personally.

Interesting, I much prefer the Giulia

 

[Neddo]

I somehow think that 156 GTA looks better than both.

 

[Tornado]

The 159 is a fantastic design heavily constrained by the packaging requirements. They did a truly stunning job hiding the, for lack of a better word, deficiencies that came from being a FWD car on what was supposed to be a shared chassis; but there are things that they couldn't get around (like how long the overhang looks when viewed dead from the side) and the car does suffer from them in a way that it's predecessor did not.



The Giulia is less impressive for that reason (since Alfa basically built a platform just for it), but I wouldn't say that it looks bad by any stretch.

"Alfa Romeo Giulia
At The Geneva motor show the full range

"I can confirm that the range will be presented to the suit at the Geneva motor show": I had six months ago, to the living room of Frankfurt, Alfredo Altavilla, in a statement issued to wheels on the account of the Alfa Romeo Giulia. Today, that news is confirmed in new advances that damage has been established for the presence of the "Standard" versions of the new sedan under the glare of the week in Switzerland.

The time of the four cylinders. The Palexpo, according to the information reported today by automotive news Europe, there will be much the new 2.0 four-cylinder petrol diesel variants, equipped with the new 2.2 (neither will miss, incidentally, the updated version of the giulietta).

The timing of the launch. The models, adds the warhead, will go on sale at two different times: the giulia diesel will reach the showroom Europeans "between the end of may and early June" (and should not be sold in America), While the 2.0 turbo should be getting from our parties at the end of the year (in conjunction with the United States).

The articulation of the offer. Confirmed also, for the moment, the expectations on the front of the power levels expected from the two new units: the gasoline multiair should be declined in the variants from 180, 250 and 330 HP, while as regards the diesel the "Trident" should be powerstep from 135, 180 and 210 HP, levels already partially in advance by the same manufacturer in recent months.

Alfa Romeo Giulia
At the Geneva Motor Show the complete range

"I can confirm that the range will be presented in full at the Geneva Motor" had said six months ago at the Frankfurt Motor Show, Alfredo Altavilla, in a statement released to Quattroruote on behalf of Alfa Romeo Giulia. Today, the news is confirmed by new advances that give for granted the presence of the "standard" versions of the new sedan in the spotlight of the Swiss festival.

The time of the four cylinders. Palexpo, according to information reported today by Automotive News Europe, will present both the new 2.0 four-cylinder petrol because the diesel variants, equipped with the new 2.2 (or will, incidentally, the updated version of the Giulietta).

The timing of the launch. The models, adds the head, will go on sale in two different moments: the diesel Giulia reach the Europeans' showrooms in late May and early June "(and should not be marketed in America), while the 2.0 turbo should debut in our country to end of year (in conjunction with the US).

The offerings available. Also confirmed for the time, the expectations in terms of performance levels expected from two new units: the MultiAir petrol should be declined in combinations of 180, 250 and 330 hp, while for diesel the "trident" is expected to be on powerstep 135, 180 and 210 hp, levels already partially anticipated by the manufacturer in recent months."

Standard Giulias

The white one looks quite smart.

The white one looks quite smart.

It is also wearing the Quadrifogio Verde rims, isn't it? They suit the car rather well, but there is clearly no cloverleaf logo, which means that it is a "lesser" version... The twin exhaust tips are also not the Quadri's, which proves my point.

Which solidifies my point I made back in June:

It'll likely get blander further down the range as is the case with most compact executive sedans. Really depends on colours and specs for lower down versions.

 

[Niku Driver HC]

Which solidifies my point I made back in June:

Of course, that affects most (if not all) cars from the Giulia's class. And it is a shame, but the most likely thing to happen is owners ditching the high-end trims in favor of cutting purchasing costs and "comfort" (they'll probably claim that bigger rims will hurt the car's comfort and it's not what they want for their car). I know that such will happen quite frequently in my own country, because there will be plenty of underwhelming (in terms of presence) Diesel-spec cars once the Giulia hits the showroom...

 

[YSSMAN]

Anyone know where that 2.0T is coming from on the standard car? Is it a modified version of the 1.7T that's in the 4C? Even with the 200-ish BHP they were talking about over at Jalopnik, it seems like it could be an interesting option compared to a 320i.

 

[psntomaz]

It could be a returned version of the upcoming "Hurricane" engine that will replace the 2.0L 4

 

[psntomaz]

this thing is freaking light!!!!!! 1374kg (3029lbs) with the 2.2 diesel

 

[psntomaz]

Giulia will offer very generous standard equipment:
Equipment on the new entry-level "Giulia" is rather generous including, as standard, new and efficient active safety systems such as the Forward Collision Warning (FCW) with Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) and pedestrian detection, IBS (Integrated Brake System), Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and cruise control with speed limiter. The entry-level version also includes aesthetic and functional features such as, for example, 16" alloy wheels, bi-zone climate control, Alfa DNA system and Connect 6.5" infotainment system.

And about engines available from the start in Europe:

The new Alfa Romeo Giulia , making its début at the Geneva International Motor Show, will be available in three trim levels (Giulia, Super and Quadrifoglio) and six new engine versions:150 and 180 HP 2.2-litre diesel with 6 speed manual or 8 speed automatic transmission, the 200 HP 2.0-litre petrol engine

2.0-litre Petrol Engine

The new petrol engine fitted on the Giulia has four in line cylinders and is made entirely of aluminium. The particular features of this engine, in addition to the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve actuator system, include the "2-in-1" supercharging system and the direct injection with a 200-bar high pressure system, which translate to a particularly quick response to the accelerator commands throughout operation and considerably efficient consumption levels. The configuration envisages 200 HP at 5,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 330 Nm at 1,750 rpm, and it is paired with the new 8-speed automatic transmission.

2.2-litre Diesel Engine

The first diesel engine in Alfa Romeo's history made entirely of aluminium was also devised for the diesel versions of the new Alfa Romeo Giulia. With four cylinders in line, this engine stands out for its latest-generation MultiJet II injection system with Injection Rate Shaping (IRS) and operating pressures of 2,000 bar. The variable geometry turbocharger with electric actuator implements "Ball Bearing" technology which minimises response times and at the same time guarantees benefits in terms of efficiency. The balancing countershaft offers the most stylish comfort and driving experience.
Two versions are available, with 180 HP at 3,750 rpm (maximum torque of 450 Nm at 1,750 rpm) and 150 HP at 4,000 rpm (380 Nm at 1,500 rpm) respectively. For both configurations - teamed with rear-wheel drive - the new 8-speed automatic transmission is available or, alternatively, the six-speed manual gearbox.

That Cream and wood interior is wonderful.

 

[hasslemoff]

I know its a Guilia thread but the Little G's new front end and that colour looks very nice. Shame the cloverleaf gets dropped but its maybe a wise choice for now.

 

[CodeRedR51]

US Spec cars to debut in New York next week.

Wow that sounds like they haven't toyed with any sound generator nonsense. It sounds like a turbo V6 behind a couple layers of insulation.

Of course, I could be wrong.
