Alfa Romeo Giulia GTA/M

whilst the exhaust can be missed with a controller box it doesn’t really change the issue. Guessing the mod will have warranty issues too
I read loads on the tyre issue and a lot of the better choices were slightly different sizes with people reporting rubbing etc etc. Didn’t say it could t be done, but it’s still a ball ache. Again potential warranty and insurance issues which most people could do without.

As stunning as that is, that's RIDICULOUS money for a family saloon on steroids. And with it being an Alfa it'll probably depreciate like it's on fire.
Yeah, it’s about as expensive as it could be. About 40-50% more than I was expecting.
As for holding value they will probably be the last of a kind in the motoring world.
It's a limited run collectors car though, it was never going to be sensible money. It's for selling to people with more money than they know what to do with, like the equally expensive Project 8 and nearly as mad M4 GTS. I'd be amazed if any of them even clock over 1,000 miles in the next 10 years (press demos excluded)
I expect most will barely turn a wheel once they've been rolled into their spot in the collection.

hahahahahahahahahaha, damn that made me laugh. £153k I'm am literally laughing.
I really do need a puff of whatever they are smoking.
Yeah, you could fill a multi car garage with all kinds of appreciating awesome for that money.
The only reliable super saloon out there is the Lexus IS-F with its tasty V8 - I would have one over anything else tbh

IS-F owner here. Just wouldn't consider anything else second hand.
I love the look of the Giulia QF, and it's engine. But just know it would be a sour experience, especially stepping from the Lexus.
Apart from the slight weight issue.
Lexus and Alfa Romeo are at polar opposites for reliability - i dont want to be faffing about with a broken car so any Alfa is out of the question for me - they have come along way with quality, Alfa Romeo but Lexus are galaxies ahead of them in terms of both build quality and reliability.

Unless you're putting it on the track, it makes no difference.
Weight is all the difference.

To be fair, I'm not sure why the ISF gets a bad name for weight. The M3 is around 45Kg lighter, but RS4 and C63 are both heavier. The porky C63 is 165Kg heaver than the Lexus.
Certainly doesn't feel a heavy car to drive. The fatter RC-F feels really sporty and lightweight too, I was amazed when I got behind the wheel of one of those.
