  1. It has an active torque vectoring rear diff and adaptive suspension.
  2. It's the high performance model aimed at the M3. There are lesser models with different trim.

  4. ALL Alfa engines will be exclusive to Alfa, though may be derived from common designs. Meaning it may share a block design with the Pentastar, but the internals and head will be unique. That's what Maserati is doing already, and some sources claim the 510 HP TT V6 is Pentastar-based. The other interesting info from Car Scoops:
  5. Someone on twitter posted this. Not sure is legit, but we'll know by 6 pm Italian time. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/7ba25f2196df865d631553bb0b0d3c79.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/2eb499fb857b0118fc8b56bddbee031a.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/433ca18c825a0c9fd1455b40f20f51fd.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/9834f8f57b9477907055177bf8c630a9.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/18056abf58671b447dd59c537f2537bb.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/6f77e10e65b1d22cd31385b5e20a04bc.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/5e8bc8087a99d248da5d1641a2722b64.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/24/f6fe15c89d225a478c218b6c19531e76.jpg

  8. More spy photos. https://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?act=url&depth=1&hl=it&ie=UTF8&nv=1&prev=_t&rurl=translate.google.com&sl=it&tl=en&u=http://www.alvolante.it/news/alfa-romeo-giulia-foto-spy-341833&usg=ALkJrhjEg5SIVxf1-aohg3ZWBQr_Zkm5vg
  9. Targeting BMW, so you can probably expect it to be similar to a 3 series.
  10. There were other rumors that this is not the Giulia engine and the Giulia will have a Pentastar - based block with different heads, like the Maserati does. There were some other leaks, supposedly. http://www.autoedizione.com/employees-fca-give-information-on-alfa-romeo-giulia/
  11. Reveal is supposed to be on the 24th. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/20/a95a0f62d4aed139f0a3bbf7abdbe6f7.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/20/16cc110828ed68733f6c9343efe33db6.jpg
  12. I like the way you think, and this was my thought...until they tied up with Toyota a few weeks ago. FIAT and Mazda already had joint development on the new Miata platform, so I thought that may lead somewhere. I guess not.
  13. New GM is making a lot of profit, Chrysler was doing great before Diamler came along and took all the cash, gutted the company, and left it for dead. If FIAT didn't have Chrysler they may have gone bankrupt by now too. Things have been bad in Europe. Sergio's claim is that the development costs of common parts are increasing (engines, powertrains, etc.) such that only the large companies that can spread these costs over a large number of platforms will survive. He believes that only 5 or 6 (IIRC) companies will be around in the future, which is his reason for a merger.
  14. Did you just call FIAT a thriving European brand? The Chrysler side is propping the European side up right now. Also, the rules are only for mergers, no splits. The smaller company wouldn't survive on its own.
  15. With all the talk lately about our CEO looking for a merger I've been thinking through all the possible scenarios and wondering what everyone else's take is. So if you were the FCA CEO who would you merge with and why?
  16. Cool car. Looks like he should have done the LS swap.

    I just past one in my area (Detroit) that had $800 written on the windshield. No idea of 4WD or condition as I couldn't stop. Usually they're rust buckets at that price.
  18. I'm glad you took a 30 second break from jerking off to Caitlyn Jenner to post this.
  19. Tried that, hasn't worked. They're still calling.
  20. I've done that, they hang up immediately, sometimes claiming that they have never called me previously before hanging up. I keep a log of every time they call me, but I have no idea how to even pursue anything. There is no way for me to get any contact info for them.
  21. The call ID shows a different number almost every time. I have a feeling they are spoofing the number, I've tried calling back and they rarely connect to anything.
  22. Every day I get a phone call from "Vehicle Services" trying to sell me an extended warranty for my Volt (which I no longer own). I tell them every time to put me on the Do Not Call List but they keep calling and claim it must have been someone else who called me previously. Does this happen to anyone else? Is there any way to make it stop?
  23. I always went on a holiday, like 4th if July or Memorial Day and it was empty.
  24. My guess is he gave up. It's kind of a shame his claimed Gallardo TT kit puts down 1800whp while his Murci isn't even close.
