Giulia is such a no-nonsense kind of driver's car, and i'd pick it any day over it's german counterparts. Especially in metallic green with yellow brake calipers

i work now for 3 years in an Alfa Romeo dealership, and I gotta admit the Giulia never gets boring. Everyday when i look at this beauty it never gets boring, so for me its the Giulia i'd pick. and great video bud!

[@farennikov]

I'd definitely go with Alfa. I owned a Brera. Not that I'm an Alfisti to the core but I think their design is a lot more compelling than what Germans make. The only thing I wish was better with Alfas is quality.

[@gabrocappe_0226]

Alfa is definitively underrated. The Giulia is the best driver-focused midsize sport sedan. It looks gorgeous, it handles amazing, it sound good... Plus, if you can find some early models, you can have it with a manual. I would chose the Alfa (even in the base trims) not only over the Merc, but over every other midsize sedan.

[@changsangma1915]

There is literally no Alfa Romeo in existence that suffers design conflict of other new gen vehicles to look like blobs on wheels. There's something in it's inverted triangle grille that doesn't let the rest of the car to go off balance in design.

[@marshallc.t.2554]

What about reliability?

[@raphaeledwards]

@@marshallc.t.2554 I've owned 2 Giulia's. The TI Sport and now the Quadrifoglio. No reliability issues. Period. I've also owned several German vehicles including an F80 M3, SQ5, GTI, and Golf R to name a few. Alfa is no less reliable in it's class.

[@marshallc.t.2554]

@@raphaeledwards thank you for your reply.

[@QuanPham-uq7ml]

Looks and sound is subjective. To me, Alfa is ugly as heck, even back in the 80s they were ugly, interior is poorly designed and put together, reliable is why Alfa can't sell and always will suffer. The only reason the Guila made a big splash as because Ferrari helped with the motor. NOT any longer though. I drove this, the C63s, M5, and E63s before I decided that hands down, the Alfa was at the bottom and ended up with my w212 E63s.

[@muthukumaranc]

Alfa is a standout. Not just in design, also in the driving experience. It stands out from the germans. Sadly Alfa badge has a bad reliability reputation and doesn't have the blingy tech gizmos of germans and nicer materials which is what most people want in this segment.

[@changsangma1915]

I'd rather choose to drive a rolling art than a rolling gadget which despite its brand status quo ends up a blob from a distance.

[@DonViToCRLNE]

I agree with the bad reliability in the past (especially when you dont service it) and the missing tech gizmos but the quality is good nowadays, especially since the 2020 models. Really i have Mercedes and Audi friends and they dont see a issue in the quality of my Giulia (2018). My best friend is a BMW freak and he likes the car a lot.

[@paulj9821]

Reliability of current Alfa's shares nothing with the old management from the late 80's to late 90's. Have fun Owning an AMG car after Warranty because you will understand very quickly the MERC is a far more expensive money pit.

[@marcelhandsome6042]

I don't agree entirely it is the German marques that are losing their reputation for reliability Alfa and Lancia are on an upward trajectory with better results each year ranking highly in league tables.

[@matthewbravo7959]

Great take! Love your videos and how well you explain the designs. I have a 2019 Guila Ti sport, got an amazing deal on it.

[@Mgn-1]

That Mercedes is the last one made with the words ‘presence, muscle and power’ in mind, I like the ones of that era. Now, the Alfa… That’s a beautiful machine, I really like the entirety of it, it’s beefy yet has flow, it has an imposing stance without being aggressive… Imagine if Stellantis had it it’s way and put inside a Hemi 392

[@paulj9821]

that would be bad. Hemi's belong in Muscle cars and I love Hemi's but it's too big and heavy for an Alfa.

[@isakengkilde5382]

The new Mercedes models actually still have indications of the models in the headlight, they’re just small LED dots now instead of the stripes.

[@MikeJones-tx6iu]

I was always fond of the Alfa...especially back in the 80’s when they had the Milano...I really wanted one but my pops tried to talk me into getting a Jetta. They resembled each other & the Jetta wasn’t as big of a mechanical nightmare😂🤷🏾‍♂️ !

[@hexgraphica]

The grill was flipped so that the bumper virtually pointed on the upper edge, instead of on the mid plane. This probably to make it look more like an SUV front end so that frightened customers would feel safe in it

[@taquito1561]

I too don't like the newer Mercedez design languages, and I think the C class you picked is a good contender for the Alfa, but I still easily prefer the Alfa; The design is one of the most beautiful modern sport sedans, one of the best looking rear ends, that gorgeous Ferrari-derived V6.. just a better driver's car in general!

[@paulj9821]

Ferrari Engine block derived, the rest of the internals were changed. Then again the Engineers that designed this engine were the same guys responsible for the 458, La Ferrari etc... So that explains all the Ferrari DNA in that engine. That engine is a master piece of automotive engineering.

Thanks - now I the like the design of the w205 C-class a bit better! It has a classy look to it. (It's difficult to appreciate, when most of them driving around here are boring Diesel models, in shades of grey with tiny wheels.) However that Giulia really is a great design for a modern car, not as distinctive as the old 159, but still outstanding and most importantly: it's finally RWD!

The Mercedes has lost that look of solidity quality, and the new design language looks cheap compared to its predecessors particularly the 1982 190 by Bruno Sacco. The Alfa looks better resolved with more complexity the Alfa actually looks visually better quality. As a final note, I wish to mention as a Lancia fan, hoping to see a return in this segment for this once-great marque like the Dedra and Prisma we need more Italian competition in this segment, and only the Italian marques can compete with the German trio which quite frankly has become so boring predictable dominant please Stellantis group give us a Lancia revival and shake things up!

[@viggokoch6998]

I think most recent Mercedes cars are too "smooth" or undefined in the rear, they lack muscle and confidence. And I've noticed that I don't like cars where the rear lights have not influenced the form af the body, like they might aswell be a sticker. Many mercs and VW's do this, looks really boring and static.

[@__AverageJoe]

I’d opt for the c63 it looks more organic to me. Don’t get me wrong the Alfa is a work of art, however I just feel like the grill clashes too much with the design, I know it’s traditional, but I feel like they could have been integrated more strategically, such as having a smaller shield , and maybe a lower grill, nevertheless it’s still a great design . However if I were to go for the 2020 c63, it would have to be the coupe only because of the rear taillights, also I don’t plan on having anymore then one additional person in my car.

[@rlsedition]

@@OSINT_Skye Your opinion. Many of the most depreciating cars are the high-performance German vehicles. Quality builds? Germany does well there and leaves any design passion on the sidewalk. Have you even driven a current Alfa? I didn't think so. The Giulia exterior is better looking than any of the German brands, even at some 6 years old. Good design is timeless. Audi has arguably the best German designs, followed by Mercedes and lastly, BMW. Most current BMW sedans are ghastly to look at.

[@DonViToCRLNE]

Never seen so much BS. First of all show us AutoTopNLs Video because i know all of them. Then the engine was made with a former engineer of Ferrari Gianluca Pivetti, its not a Ferrari engine and Giulias service & maintenance costs are a lot lower than german brands (i can guarantee that for germany and maybe europe). A headline of one of many german car magazines ,, Alfa Giulia ein sehr, sehr gutes Auto" or ,,Alfa Romeo Stelvio, so geht Premium!" translate this and then tell us. I recommend to inform better about cars reliability. Europeans are all bad equal, the most reliable are japanese, accept it.

[@rlsedition]

@@DonViToCRLNE What BS? I'd never heard of AutoTopNL, probably because it's focused on the European customer. The team that created the Giulia/Stelvio was comprised of many Ferrari engineers, but I didn't say the QV engine was a Ferrari powerplant, nor does Alfa in their promotional literature. I don't contest that the Japanese and Koreans "own" vehicle build quality and reliability, but that's not my major criteria when I make an automotive purchase; if it was I'd buy a Corolla. Right now there's not one Asian vehicle I have any interest in, partly as I don't care for their design executions, the other is their cars don't incite any passion.
