Sad day for Black Beauty

I had a small down with the lease. I will be asking for the down payment loss by the shortened lease and a number of other items from the insurance company of the party that hit me. When I look at the picture and I saw the car with the rear portion taken apart it is still a surprise it is a total loss. My payoff is around $41k and high KBB is $45k.
Sorry about the wreck. That's a beautiful car but good look with the Alfa.

A new to me Alfa dealership opened and I drove by this morning. Had a nice inventory of Giulia's out front.

Well done, that car is amazing looking! I have seen that paint in person and it pops. Nice wheels with yellow calipers... Very cool. Surprised to see a molded dash, I though it would've been stitched.
Have you owned an Alfa before? Once you have it becomes "always looking for another". The Alfa bug is hard to knock. How does it compare to the XE?

First Alfa for me. Much different that the XE R. More go cart like in handling. Feels more nimble. Not as much raw power yet very quick. Alfa uses the same ZF transmission but i like the shifting pattern much better in the Alfa. This car has the Harmon Kardon sound system that sounds great.
More sporty than luxury. The Jag was the opposite. The wheels are a real selling point for me.

Do me a favor and keep us updated on the insurance thing. I was too lazy to sell my old car so I used it as cap reduction, which I normally would never do.
Enjoy that gorgeous Alfa. That's a head turner. It makes the (at least here) exclusive XE look ubiquitous.

Man. Those wheels are choice. That's a pretty car. I never has the cajones to pull the trigger on an Alfa. I thought I was going out on a limb reliability wise with the JLR.

I have had the car for 5 months and love it. I have had no issues, in fact less than i did with the Jag. The Alfa is amazing. Remeber what we used to think of Jags 15 years ago. Both company’s seem to be making reliable cars.

I had a look at a Giulia in the dealer near me, (Mangoletsi in Cheshire). What a beautiful car, and I have to say it knocks the XE into a cocked hat stylewise ! The auto gearbox is the same ZF 8-speeder as the XE.
Maybe, maybe.........
(at one time, if you said you were driving an Alfa, people looked at you as if you should be in a lunatic asylum. That is what Alfa Romeo have to overcome, the perception that the cars are elegant but cr*p)

I am loving the Giulia. Best sport sedan I have had. Like it more than the Jag and the Audi S4 which were all fine cars. Starting with the looks, l get constant comments on how beautiful the car looks and i think it is amazing. The handling and performance are ideal for me. I had tune put in the ECU which has the hp around 340+ and a bunch of additional torque. So with the car weigh somewhere around 3500lbs is very well balanced and is quick. For me it is more fun tomdrive than the XER Sport or S4. More nimble, but not as much raw power as the Jag which i also had tuned. I would highly reccomend a test drive.
I Wnr out of my way to get a RWD car this time and am ver pleased with that decision. My car is a Ti with sport and performance package that i would recommend. Best of luck with your decision.
