Really insightful. Great designers put so many efforts in every aspect of car design. Being able to deliver a monologue about each line of a car is a testament to how much the design is flesh out. Bravo.
@alfattitudeАй бұрын
Thank you so much. Indeed, they make it seem easy but there’s is a huge amount of tears, sweat and hard work going on behind the curtains. That’s what makes it even more frustrating to hear people dismiss it with a simple “it’s a reno/pug/kia/whatever”.

@Ronnet25 күн бұрын
Very narrow minded view on what makes an Alfa. Did you watch the reviews where they're testing how it drives? Looks like it has a spirit to it that is typically Alfa. Making Electric cars fun to drive is a smart way to differentiate from the rest of the EV market.

Looking so much forward to change from my Giulietta - in which I've enjoyed flawless 200.000km - to the Junior IF there's enough room in the back seats.
@alfattitudeАй бұрын
Giulietta is a superior class, with Tonale as the SUV equivalent. But go give the Junior a try yourself and see how it’s like.
@andreasausmucАй бұрын
@@alfattitude Yeah - I know! But pricewise the Tonale is another league than the Giulietta 😢

Nice successor for MiTo and Giulietta. Appreciate this car more and more (I recently saw it in real life). Good and interesting interview with the designer. (p.s.: delete the background music next time. It distracts from the conversation and does not meet accessibility requirements)
@alfattitudeАй бұрын
Thank you so much! Also grateful for the “technical” input, as we’re only starting with proper video production, will tone the music down a notch for the next one. What do you mean by accessibility requirements?
@klaverroАй бұрын
@@alfattitude about accessibility requirements: A video may not meet W3C standards if there is background music while someone is speaking for several reasons: Clarity and Understandability: Background music can interfere with the clarity of spoken content, making it difficult for people with hearing impairments or auditory processing disorders to understand what is being said. Distraction: For individuals with attention disorders, background music can be distracting, making it harder to focus on the spoken content. Assistive Technologies: Assistive devices like hearing aids and cochlear implants may struggle to separate speech from background noise, reducing the effectiveness of these technologies. Cognitive Load: Background music can increase cognitive load, making it more challenging for people with cognitive disabilities to process and understand the information1. The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) recommend avoiding background audio or providing a way to turn it off to ensure that the content is accessible to all users. For more detailed information, you can check W3C Multimedia Accessibility FAQ and the W3C Web Accessibility Initiative at w3.org

But why they didn’t use the digital cluster of the Giulia/tonale . It fills the cannocchiale and is not a square display. Also the key fob I would have used a different one instead to use the Peugeot/citroen one with the Alfa logo, same for the dna button. Overall I like it but I wish there will be a more powerful hybrid version.

@roalvarezАй бұрын
@@alfattitude what I said is confusing because I'm including Cupra when I say SEAT. Something about this car's design language looks like a cross between a Peugeot and a Cupra to me. I admit that it's highly subjective, and I drive a Giulia Quadrifoglio, so the fact that I would have liked them to go in a completely different direction might play into it. :)

These "designers" should be moved to vans section to design i.e. Renault Kangoo where nobody is interested in how the car looks. But then they would end up with 1.2 puretech hybrid which half of the time would spend in service for repairs. And the cargo space would be diminished by half because of unnecessary embossings 😂 Unfortunetely these are the people that will design next generation of stelvio and giulia - and probably they will make them as hideous Peugeots 🤮 As stelvio user - #leave_next_stelvio_alone #shame_on_you_for_renault_captur_headlights_and_scudetto_from_mitsubishi_asx #not_buying_this_crap

He just gave it all away. The car was developed in a short time. Look at the overall shape of the bonnet, front fenders and doors. Its Fiat 600e. Thats why half of the car does not look like an Alfa. Then the rear doors and the back of the car looks absolutely fantastic. So the designers had to squash their ideas into a shape that already half existed. It's a mess. And is shows.
