Title: ALFA GIULIA 2016
Post by: paolo86 on November 16, 2015, 01:25:45 PM
Hello everyone,

does anyone know any information on the new giulia getting released next year. I rang alfa Australia but they seem to know no information yet about the release.

I have read a bit on google and it seems that it will be released late next year (alfa aus seem to think that isn't the case for us). I understand they are releasing a top of the range model and a lower range. Alfa Australia cant confirm whether they will even make right hand drive cars and whether they will be released in Australia at all?

Main questions I have is whether it will be a  limited edition model with build numbers restricted and also whether any confirmation dates have been released for the Australian market.

look forward to some feed back thanks everyone :)

Full video for the North American launch (courtesy of a member post on AusAlfa). Pretty much covers everything we know to date.

There's a bloke on the box here selling solar panels that looks and sounds just like this dude. Serious. Could be his twin. Anyway, I'm going up on Tuesday to have a squiz.

Make sure to use those words, Alister. "I'm here to have a squiz".

Had a squiz.....but only at the outside because the cars were firmly locked as were the "no" responses to "can we have a look inside please".  No matter, the display alone was impressive.  As was the obvious wear on the tyres of one of cars (clearly not straight off the pre-production line).

Also good to see the 33 Stradale and TZ2 on the stand, plus the extensive signage around the show.  Loved this one.....

I've not seen a Stradale and a 4C in the same space . very compelling.

Good point Paul. The similarities are remarkable aren't they.

So when will we see this car in Australia? I heard FCA said 2017 but dealers are pushing for later this year.

For what it's work Alfa really shot themselves in the foot with this launch. What's the point of launching a car if you cannot go to market within 3 months max? Every AMG, M series being sold is potentially one less Giulia that could have been sold. In other words, ppl are locking themselves away for the next 3-5 years with other products that is taking potential sales away from Alfa.
