For years we heard rumors that Alfa Romeo, storied Italian maker of beautiful, emotional cars, would return to the U.S. Alfa stuck its tenterhooks into our market with the ultra-limited 8C supercar and the fantastic, yet flawed, 4C mid-engine sports car. Now, though, Alfa is here for real, with a new sedan aimed right at the best from Germany.
While there’s a base Alfa Romeo Giulia that is equally beautiful and still fun to drive, we’re focusing on the Quadrifoglio model. Holder of a Nürburgring record and packed with go-fast parts, the Quadrifoglio delivers on all the lore – eye-watering design, soulful driving demeanor – we’ve heard about Alfa for years. For a more in-depth look at how it performs, take a look at our latest Why Buy?
