    Alfa Romeo's replacement for the 159, the Giulia has another delay. This time it deals with engines suitable for it are not ready.

    "We are not delaying the Alfa because of architecture but because of availability of powertrains that match the DNA of the brand," Fiat/Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told What Car? at the Geneva Motor Show.

    This will push back the launch of Giulia back to 2014, two years after the original launch date.

    Alfa has not had a very solid reputation for quality. They seem to always have done things in a haphazard way and while they have come up with some very interesting designs for their cars, I have yet to see true quality management, planning and quality of product out of them.

    I have to wonder the same if they are being repositioned or even being looked at as more of a niche player.

      Had a relaxing weekend at the lake, albeit still a bit cold... highs only in the low 40s.  But sunny in the afternoons, great sunsets.  Saturday night about 8pm...last pic is the 'pink' moon at about 9pm Sat.  Crazy spring weather..70 and sunny at home yesterday afternoon, 43 and rain today.   Got to wash the Caddy, it got a lot of mud on it on one backroad near the lake where they were logging.

      Tariff Tuesday - Sports Cars are Dead

      By ccap41 · Posted

      "affordable" sports cars were dead like 5-10 years ago. Once Camaro SSs and Mustang GTs couldn't be found for under 40k, Miatas crested 25k, BRZs surpassed 30k. A BRZ is already nearly 8k more than it was when it first came out.

      R.I.P. to the affordable sports car, but also to young people being able to afford an auto period! 😒  Tariffs led to the Great depression, now another less than intelligent person is destroying this country. Amazing how after 6 bankruptcies, people still felt #47 was a good choice to lead this great democracy. America is a Great Country, never fell down except in the dementia minds of the boomers who want to live in the 50's/60's again.
