German cars are usually well-engineered but "emotionless" as you put it. It's a long-held complaint especially from those who are used to cars from places like Italy. As a kid, I remember falling in love with the Alfa Romeo Brera, as I thought it was one of the most beautiful hatchbacks ever made, even if it wasn't the best performing. Unlike most of your commenters below, I'm not sure if it's wise to buy the same car (the Giulia QV) three times, but hey, since when was buying a sports car ever a rational decision. I've also heard the line "BMW have lost their way" many times before, but frankly, it could be argued that it already happened after they peaked with the E46 M3 and E39 M5. Plus, it's probably far from being the only brand to "lose their way" *cough* C63 4-cylinder *cough* . If you want a great manual transmission, Hondas are pretty hard to beat. I know I just suggested a 1st-gen NSX on one of your previous videos, but if you want a practical 4-door that's reliable and fun to drive, maybe try a FL5 Civic Type R. I think the novelty of a Japanese hot hatch is enough to make great content on your channel. It's a little big for a hot hatch, but smaller than the M3 (not to mention better looking). While it's way less powerful than other cars in your stable (though 315hp is no slouch), the benefit is you can push it harder on the roads without risking your license.

When you bought the M3 it always seemed like a rebound relationship. You just have to compare the BMW videos with the ones you did in the Alfa, when you got the M3 your words were "great car", "lots of fun", but your voice was saying something different. You may not even have known it yourself at the time. In the Alfa videos you really seemed totally emotionally involved and genuinely into the experience with a real connection to the car. Get another Alfa and don't waste your time with anything else.

Great video! I don't think the CT4V Black Wing is a looker like a Red QV would be. The Black Wing is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but the rarity and exclusivity of a Rosso Alfa QV, not to mention how aggressive it looks just fits you so much better. Then again, I'm partial to everything Alfa Romeo throughout it's history.

So I’ll say you were never excited about this car but man I’ve had mine for a year now and I completely feel the opposite! I hear you on the emotionless part but I want all the tech and features in this car. Automatic is not an option for me ever. That, for me is the epitome of emotionless. I am also not an American car fan. The interiors are cheap and are very underwhelming as well as they just flat out don’t stand out on the road to me. I flat out hate everything in looks about the Cadillacs. They still look like my grandfathers cars. No thank you. I’ll take the engine and trans and that’s it lol. And of course this is just all my opinion. One question and no shade behind it… these cars are expensive! So why go back to another Alfa when the previous gave you all of those problems? No way in the world I’d reconsider something that had so many problems!
