    Rumorpile: Alfa Romeo Readying A Giulia Based Coupe

      Possibly have some Formula 1 Tech

    Alfa Romeo is reportedly working on Giulia-based coupe that could go on sale as early as next year.

    Autocar reports the new coupe will share most of the front panels found on the Giulia sedan, although a different grille is likely. The rest of the model will feature all new panels including a lower roof and rear-quarter panels. Engines are expected to be the same as the sedan - two versions of the 2.0L turbo-four (197 and 276 hp) and the twin-turbo 2.9L V6.

    There is also an Formula 1-style energy recovery system (ERS) that is being worked on for this model. ERS basically harvests kinetic energy from braking as electricity and stores in a battery. A driver can use this electricity to add a bit more boost. According to sources, Alfa is working on two powertrains featuring this system - the higher-output version of the 2.0L turbo and the twin-turbo 2.9L V6. Outputs are said to be 345 hp for the 2.0L and 641 hp for the 2.9L.

    Ive seen a couple of these Giulia's in my neighbourhood. Im starting to like it. 

    I think its hot....for now.  I did not like it at all when it came out. It grew on me to the point where I visualize myself owning one.  

    \With an explanation.  

    1. In red, its one helluva nice lookin' ride. One of the better ones, especially in red as today's cars dont really look all that good in red. Yes very BMW knock-off--ish looks, but in red, very hot and wild.  She is a temptress!

    LOVE, LOVE those classic Italian style wheels.   

    2. The Ferrari derived V6 sounds INCREDIBLE!  

    3. I will NEVER EVER BUY one or even lease one as I heard that the F part of the FCA equation, be it Fiat or Alpha Romeo, has really really shytty reliability.  

    4. I will probably start not liking it again by the time summer rolls around...

     

    But a coupe version may also start to pick at my curiosity!  I welcome the thought of a coupe Giulia!

    Saw one of the death trap Alfa Milano on the road today, surprised it was still running. I just find their style :puke: Cannot stand or see what is great about the alfa lineup.

    Costing money that should have been invested in Ram, Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler. :nono:

      No, I'm not going to weave in any Subaru jokes.  When anyone first hears this, they know it's a good song - it's sort of catchy - and the voice is stellar. But the trippy part is the black and white video itself showing a strange stage act in this grande dame type theater.  The people in the play look like something right out of a Jack Kerouac or John Steinbeck novel.  It all leaves you hanging as to how and why it may all fit together.

      Went in for my annual service/oil change (about 5000 miles since the last one).  Been parked most of the winter, weather been cold and snowy.. warming up and melting.  Got a new set of tires last week (replaced the Bridgestone Potenzas with Firestone Firehawks), getting an oil change and new battery today--I think I had the original battery--after all the cold weather recently, noticed it was down to 10.3 volts when starting, but rising to 15.x after a few min.  Want it in ship shape before my 10 vacation in two weeks..road trip down to Beaufort & Hilton Head, SC, Savannah and Macon GA and Asheville, NC..      After picking it up from the dealer, stopped for tacos near home.  Still turn around and look at it after parking.. beautiful car.

      The other one is when he holds a press conference and someone in the press asks him a question that he doesn't want to field and he just says, 'Next question.' That's because his entitled and corrupt a$$ is in gear, he doesn't want to be accountable, and they've let him get away with it for years.  We're now in 2026.  Does this mean Project 2025 didn't gel like they wanted it to? I can't believe how often he passes and makes nasty remarks to go with along with doing so.

      Idiot47 continues to prove just how corrupt he is and why he deserves to be in jail!!! 'Mind-blowing': Trump acts clueless when reporter corners him on corruption—until he won't shut up and unknowingly rambles into a confession

      I am seeing allot of non mental jobs that can be easily done by an AI bot get done, like you pointed out, the cleaning up and organizing of paperwork just so a company can then make intelligent decisions to move forward but this is over the next 5 to 10 years imho.  I do not ever plan to retire, but I do see my job evolving and with that what I might have to do in 20 to 30 years will look very different than today.
