I agree that everyone was building less than stellar quality auto's, Fiat just built the worse there was and that led to them tucking tail and running out of the country leaving many people with worthless auto's and a useless warranty. My dad had an auto repair shop. #1 auto for engine replacement was Fiats and the biggest request was to put in something anything that was reasonable price and better quality than the Fiat powertrain. #2 was conversions of American so called Diesel engines, really just a converted gas engine to diesel and terrible. No matter what, I helped my dad do many of these engine swaps and of course he put my two older sister and I through College doing this kind of work. End result is anyone with any real history and experience with FIAT knows they are far below the rest of the auto industry. As such FIAT should have planned for a flawless auto introduction in the US. They Did Not and as such we have the current crap round 2 that I expect will eventually see Fiat / Alfa leaving the US market in the future.

Black Chrome is sexy! That give just the right amount of bling without being overbearing which way to many US auto's are doing right now. Example is the Ford current nose and the past Chevy trucks with the Gladiator chrome helmet nose. Way too much for me. But take your preferred color and add Black Chrome accents like door handles, grill and wheels and it sets it off nicely with out being too way over the top.

Nope WRONG, I have way to much experiance with the Fiats and Alfas or the 60's - 70's and the garbage they tried to peddle that failed and forced them to withdraw. I have gone out of my way to drive them on my trips overseas and still see no difference. Same with what is being sold here now, still garbage. Sergio should have made sure the quality of Fiat was perfect when he brought it back to the US. Failed, Alfas that are on the floor here now are not much better. My opinion based on past and current experience with them and I have tried to give them the benefit of the doubt but they still fail. Way to many other products from Germany, Asian and especially the US that beats Alfa and Fiat every which way.

CCAP, I have to think you are probably half my age. I am 49 and I can tell you my fellow pears remember the garbage that Alfa and Fiat tried to peddle in the US and how that garbage caused them to pull out. They are still building garbage and I see it when I travel to Europe and I see it here in the US and their design language is OLD. Just a refresh of what they did in the past. I accept your love of the auto, to me, it is ugly and not worth the money. So many superior products out there in comparison to this wasted billion dollar pet project of Sergios.

The more I look at this car, the more strongly I feel that the Alfa lineup will never sell well. The design style is just BUTT UGLY! I know some of you here love it, but this product line should have stayed dead, the style is ugly IMO and I still do not see anything that would say this will be a tight quality product line. FCA has so many pain points that need to be fixed, trying to bring back an autoline that the public went away from as it was crappy then and will probably still be crappy now. Sergio's Money Pit is what ALFA is!

To me, Chrome is an accent, not a dip the whole bloody auto in it especially if it is just chrome covered plastic. Here is what I like about Black Chrome as an accent on a auto. This company does a black chrome mesh grill. Really makes this look awesome. Perfect Example is this: OEM shipping Truck: Aftermarket Black Replacement parts:

As far as I know, the adjustable system is changed from inside the cab on the GC and Ram Power Wagon. What are you talking about Willis?

Meh, Nothing newly different, US trucks have had this for forever. What makes you so special Nissan? You need to offer something the rest do not have.
