    I don't care less for US. But certainly those people are styles.

    I just wanted to point out that it's not so crucial to offer a SW. For some customers sedan could be sufficient and history with 156 showed that for first 2 or 3 years sedan was saled at (exceptionally) good numbers if not excellent. For those who are seeking pure commodity Stelvio is way to go. Give us comparison of 156 SW with Lybra SW.

    I agree with you that SUV is way to go. If someone wants commodity than there is no better choice than SUV. Those who says that SW is same for driving as sedan are completely wrong. With SW they have compromised torsional rigidity and +100 kg compared to sedan and both negatively affect driving dynamics. But regarding 156 SW. It has McPherson rear suspension which much more negatively affect luggage space than multilink. Rear McPherson consumes to much vertical space. 156 SW came late to the market and sedan had a huge sale success before that. http://left-lane.com/european-car-sales-data/alfa-romeo/alfa-romeo-156/ 1997 15.140 1998 94.924 1999 96.740 2000 97.056 2001 90.390 2002 62.529 2003 58.492 2004 51.456 2005 30.906 2006 3.727 2007 812

    During Serbian presentation of Giulia and Tipo hatch head of FCA Serbia said that during first weekend of sales in Italy they got orders for more than 3 000 Giulias.

    Meanwhile in Serbia:

    RDU210-eLSD is a open differential so it's not a LSD. RDU230-LSD should be on QV and Q4 models. RDU210/215-LSD is mechanical Q2. Wester said it's the newest generation of Torsen rear differential.

    For me this is a weird choice not to use a SCR on this engine. But as this engine in Giulia is homologated before September of 2017 they will not need to update it with SCR for RDE before September of 2019 unless they will bring even more powerful versions of it.

    1750 TBi

    Honda 1.6.

    Who said that Alfa E-SUV would be on Maserati RWD platform? There is a lot of space in Mirafiori not for two but even for more than two platforms. It's a huge site.

    Why there is no a light leather option in configurator, Lusso Pack or Q2?

    I don't know what's in the photo but someone(from Serbia) said to me that next gen Freemont(yes, they used exactly that name) will be produced there.
  19. Bare
    I got an information that it will be produced in Kragujevac.

    IMO, if price os Stelvio is slightly above of Giulia than Giulia SW does not make sense even in most parts of EU. I don't know price of base Giulia with 2.2 diesel 150 HP but I assume it's around 35 000 euros. If Stelvio is from for example at 37-38k euros than they will solve a SW "problem".

    1940 - 491 = 1449

    Bore: 83 mm Stroke: 99 mm Same as old Mercedes OM 651. Now more serious. At least we know why they developed aluminum block for 1.75 TBi. They are using it here on 2.2 JTD.

    Most likely 2.0 Turbo Q4 for US. Ti with Performance package.

    More powerful versions of GME are planned as classic Dual-VVT maybe with dual valve lift mode. Take into account that this is a first time where we see combination of MultiAir with direct injection and that MultiAir system is probably somewhat different that the current one. Good question. I believe their intention was to have a 100% Italian product for Alfa Romeo. It's much easier to say that Alfa Romeo has parts from USA and with that harm its image. On the other hand with Maserati it's not so much issue their devoted US followers or nobs which still don't believe that Maserati V6 block comes from USA. But as you see with interior is different. And have can you justify production of engine blocks in Italy? With that number it would be a financial suicide to opt for die cast. Sand cast it the most logical solution and Italians, especially Ferrari, have much experience and knowledge with it. About closed deck block. This 2.0 for Alfa Romeo has around 140 HP/l which is the same as for newest Maserati V6. So this is a doable with open deck especially if you consider that I4 has less loses than V6 and that in many ways this engine is more modern than the one in Maserati. But I believe there is more than one reason why we have not seen 300+ HP 2.0 I4 engine for new Giulia. I believe that one is 48V electrical installation.

    This is mine understanding of sand cast vs die cast. It's not about power level like open vs closed deck but it's about price of production. For smaller series you opt for sand cast aluminium block like this one. It's less money spending in the beginning. In that way it's a obvious choice for small series like For Ferrari or racing. Even for 2.0 TBi MA for Alfa Romeo we are talking about relatively small series. On the contrary with die cast you spend a lot with investments. Than first series of blocks have many problems with leakage. After some time you got perhaps even less leakage than with sand cast block. And obviously with time and many produced blocks you save a money compared to sand cast method. Off-course that it's a logical choice for Tigershark or Pentastar when for some years we are talking about millions of blocks per year.
