Alfa Romeo's Sports Sedan is a Future Classic: Hagerty
The 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio has been added to Hagerty’s Hot List of future collectible vehicles.
The classic car experts at Hagerty added the most powerful Alfa Romeo production car to its list because of its “stand-out combination of stunning Italian design and craftsmanship, race-inspired technologies and class-leading performance.” The 2017 Hagerty Hot List represents the most collectible cars under $100,000 available today and in order to be selected, a vehicle must deliver the joy of driving today, along with continuing to foster every gearhead’s love of driving and become collectible in the future.
The Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine sourced from Ferrari, delivering 505 horsepower. The sedan is capable of going zero to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and it set a record world time at the Nurburgring with a 7:32 lap, making it the fastest four-door production sedan in the world to lap the track.

This isn’t the first modern Alfa Romeo vehicle that has been selected for the Hot List. Previous models include the 2014 Alfa Romeo 4C, 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Launch Edition and 2016 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider. The Italian automaker has been honored by Hagerty each year since its return to the U.S.
“The Giulia is a true expression of La Dolce Vita,” said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty. “It’s the kind of car that makes you want to spend your time looking for twisty roads. The car has the ingredients to become a future classic.”

Any car you have to drop the engine to change the oil is a design disaster. It is just plain stupid. It is as stupid as saying you only have to change your oil once a year. Run from this car before the bugs and blemishes start showing up. And don't forget the company that is selling Alfa...Fiat/Chrysler...the same people who turned 164 into a failure. I'd love to be a cheerleader but if you look at F/C with open eyes you know they don't have what it takes to carry their own water.
I need to post something above this "John Ireland" guy because I can't have his ridiculous post be the first one people see....The Giulia Quad is AMAZING !!!! Back to the drawing board for BMW, AUDI, and MB.....FORZA ALFA BABY....
