    The rear window ”Windows Peak” isn’t from the 8C but first appeared on the Alfa 145 in the mid 90’s. No news to you, as an Alfaholic? 😉 Also, to be correct:
    Both this and the Jeep Compass are based on Fiat 500X

    • @CARmagazineTV
      @CARmagazineTV  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Now, if you were a true Alfaholic you’d know that the 8C model name was also used in the 1930s - during which one of the many derivatives featured the 8C line for the first time 😉

    Great review thanks. Such a good looking thing - just the performance seems a bit of let down. A 9 sec 0-60 is pretty slow and beaten easily by some fairly ordinary cars both fossil fuel and electric. A bit more zip would really make it more Alfa. Other than that, like it a lot.

      The hornet is what, 9hp more than the tonale, plus a short term 25hp power shot. Not a huge difference. Both sound plenty powerful enough. The alfa looks better inside and out, but pricing and servicing costs will be interesting.

    Looks fast but that's where it ends for me. It's a slightly below average run of the mill SUV with good looks but not much else and a hefty price tag. Plug ins just suck !! I'd rather go for the Stelvio TI. Good summary of the video. It's a shit car right now but in 5 years it will be better when everything has turned electric.

    An Alfa Tonale Veloce PHEV has as much sportiness, equal torque and adjustable suspension, more room in the back, all wheel drive, muuuch better looks, interior, visibility, more quiet interior and much much better gas mileage!!!! Why why would someone take this over that????!!!!!! Especially since Honda will mark up the price but 10k!!!! Plus, the resale on the Alfa will be garbage next year and a steal!!!!!!! Honda can screw themselves with the dealer markups. Plus, the Veloce will be a better collectible and nice when gas hits $7 a gallon.

      The chassis is actually a Derivative of the Fiat Small Wide that underpins the Compass,Renegade,500x,Cherokee and the Tonale and the Hornet. Alfa needs this platform until the STLA Small,Medium and Large Platforms are ready for production. Without these small CUV Alfa will not survive on Big Engine and being free of restrictions.
