Launch control is everything wrong with our car culture. We care so much about winning, not about enjoyment and our growth / skill. All the skill required is to push the pedal and keep the wheel straight, the car does eveything for you. That's why I prefer the Alfa, that is a driver's car. You need skill to launch it properly, control the power and control the back end and probably it will still not be as fast as a launch control car. But you will feel like you YOU are driving the car, not computers. There is something about controling a 500hp RWD monster which only people who are passionate about driving understand. The rest...well, they just want to brag about numbers. But there is nothing wrong with any car, if you enjoy it.

So once again, not sure why the Alfa is going up against a lighter coupe vs it's actual competition, which is the M3, the RS5 and last generation C63. I tested the G80 and the Giulia QV and went with the Giulia. What people don't realize is it actually has the more advanced suspension, meaning in its softer settings its far more comfortable as a daily. It's steering ratio and feeling is superior to the G80, and overall its just a much more engaging drive. If your priority is sheer lap times and you track every weekend, go with BMW. But they're like driving a video game in comparison to the Alfa.
@Bimmer_Bill13 күн бұрын
Old cars are always more engaging but almost always slower. If that’s your gig, go buy an e39 m5, it’s way more engaging than the Alfa and it has a naturally aspirated v8. Bottom line is cars are getting heavier with more and more power that means more computer control to meet safety standards. I own a g80. There is no other 4 door on the market (other than an s plaid) that doesn’t need a single bolt on part and can run mid 9 second 1/4 miles and at the end of the day when you lose nobody cares about manuals or engagement… you lose.

@@Pia-ho9dm The reliability thing was only for the first two years of production. They actually rate dead average for reliability. I've seen several videos from mechanics all around the world and they all say that they are fairly easy to work on and well built. And these were on cars that were as much as seven years old. Parts and labor will cost you less on an Alpha than a BMW, which are hardly bastions of reliability. I will admit that most of those reviews were for the four cylinder, since that is what most people buy.

Bmw just offers an extremely superior product these days. All across. I love Alfa Romeo but I would probably pick the BMW for the better interior quality and the reliability factor.

Just to clarify. We are watching a facelift of a 10 year old sedan without Launch Control against a 2 Year old coupè with launch control. The Giulia wqs made to compete with the F80 wich absolutely destroyed. Before commenting consider this.

Yes. And the new M4 Competition is BMWs revenge. The new M4 competition was build to destroy any other car in that class. Which it did successfull.

@@Lello75-ww7ib everything i said was, that it is logical, that the new M4 is faster, since it’s the new Generation. What is wrong about that ? And the new M4 is the Benchmark in this Segment now, which the other cars will try to beat. If there will be a successor of the Giulia QV from Alfa Romeo at all.
