Great video. If Alfa Romeo can address the reliability and quality which have improved significantly in the last 30 years, the next 30 years belong to Alfa Romeo. All car guys must get one. They are "mini Ferraris".

The turn signal sounds like the clip clop of a horses hoof on a cobble street in a small quaint Italian town. Or an amplified cuckoo clock in an empty room. Nice review and good catch on that parking brake. 👍🏼 8:23

Hi David, Nice SUV 🇮🇹❤️🤍💚

[@baldheadlogic]

The design on the interior and exterior is nice. 😊

David, I wonder if the local Dodge dealer is giving a bigger discount on a Hornet. 🤔

[@scottbl8556]

Great review and I agree with your review 100%. I drove one as a loaner for four days / 210 mi. and the car really impressed me in a short time. I was proud to have the Tonale in my driveway as it is an attractive car and a hint of the Alfa driving character is still there. If you live close to one of their dealers which is a sparse network then I would definitely recommend at least checking one out.

Love your videos, but you could never sell me one!

[@tomreilly9295]

So, I drive a 1999 LX 470, I would bet my 25 year old vehicle is better than that suv!

What do you think about the stablemate "Hornet" from Dodge? I think the Hornet is cheaper (though I don't know for sure.)

[@smokey2459]

Sorry, but the reliability rating for this car and its twin the Dodge Hornet are poor.

[@BigAltimaEnergy719]

Best to lease one instead, that’s what smart ppl do

[@stanleynowak9325]

The Hornet just came out.

[@michaelvella8511]

I am surprised it anly costs $50000...An NX hybrid is over $70000

[@TheVainakhTribes]

You pay for what you get. The amount of repairs this will need in the future will round up to the same price as the NX.

[@michaelvella8511]

But does not make any sense $20000 difference in initial cost. We surely must be getting gouged weather it's as reliable or not.....@@TheVainakhTribes

@@Kevin-fm1vn No. These are from my own personal experiences owning both brands.

[@shane6115]

They are made by Fiat which stands for ( Fix It Again Tomorrow ) 😊

I don't do EURO! NIHON DAKE!!!

EVs are a no go, form me.

This is a plug in hybrid, not a full ev
