I got an Estrema which is basically the same. It is a monster, you will love it, especially after you break it in at 3000 miles and you can finally go flat to the metal.
I see others have commented on the cringing pronunciations, so to make it easier, here's a little background on the name. For the new post-war series of cars, they wanted to pun their name on Shakespeare's "Romeo & Juliet," which is, of course, written in English despite the story being set in Italy. In Italian, "j" is pronounced like a "y" in English (so, for example, the name of the designer, Jano, is pronounced "yawn-o"). In order to make the English "j" sound in Italian, "giu" is used, so the name was spelled "Giulietta." For the larger 1600cc models, they dropped the diminutive "ett" and made it just "Giulia," which is pronounced "Julia." The only other issue is the images not matching the narration going on, the worst example was multiple shots of Count Ricotti's streamlining exercise from the early '20s without ever mentioning it once! Still, as a life-long Alfista, it's a good start and being a mostly correct synopsis, I gave it a like.

@@Businessvidsofficial- You're welcome. I've been driving my 1974 GTV for 48 years so I am pretty well steeped in Alfa lore 🙂 BTW, I made a little mistake myself in the above description. It's just the "gi" that makes the "j" sound. The "u" was part of the regular name.

Fiat already owned Lancia, Maserati, Iveco, Piaggio, Ferrari, Alfa, MagnetiMarelli etc etc BEFORE they bought Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge. They did NOT come with Stellantis. (Nowaday of course, Ferrari is "officially" not under Stellantis (altho Agnelli (Elkann) is still in charge mysteriously 😊))
Yes, that's correct! (and also what the video says) Alfa Romeo was indeed acquired by Fiat in 1986. Additionally, on January 16, 2021, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) merged with the French PSA Group, forming the new multinational corporation known as Stellantis. This merger brought together various automotive brands, including Alfa Romeo, under the Stellantis umbrella.
Who....or what is the narrator? How can the history of Alfa Romeo be presented by someone.... or something that can't pronounce Giuletta correctly? Gee-you-letta?? Get a human next time.
Thank you for your feedback. The narrator is American and as such has an American accent. We do not use AI generated voiceovers for our content. Our team is all human. Nonetheless, we will aim to maintain authenticity in pronunciations in our future content :)

They make beautiful cars but reliabity & quality is a problem that they must overcome. Make cars as reliable as Japanese cars then Alfa sales figures will sky rocket..
The sales are going up a lot actually now that Alfa decided to move from niche European market to the international one. If people would be less ignorant about the legendary “Biscione” they would bring cars like the MITO and Giulietta that are thousands of times better than a Corolla or Yaris.
@@gerbenbakker931 him I don’t know but between my father and I we owned 6 Italian cars in total of which 3 Alfas; drove over 100,000 miles on one of them, just got 2 new ones and drove 10,000 miles and they are fine. The Italian cars are the most fun cars to drive and not so expensive to maintain (surely cheaper than a BMW) if you find the right place to service them.

I’m buying a 2024 Stelvio Competizione. Very excited!
I got an Estrema which is basically the same. It is a monster, you will love it, especially after you break it in at 3000 miles and you can finally go flat to the metal.

我在中華民國台灣🇹🇼台北市
目前已經是2024下半年了！
我仍然駕駛 我個人生涯的第一台車
Alfa Romeo 33 1.7IE 8V Boxer 1989
目前行駛里程：超過410,000Km
自1991年開始，她已經陪伴我33年之久....
因為台灣位居亞洲，為小型國家，但汽車工業也是台灣重要的產業之一、國內有自主研發品牌、整車組裝廠與汽車相關的零組件產業供應鏈；
再加上地處亞熱帶的氣候，所以歐洲車在台灣的整體銷售量遠低於國產日系車，相對的Alfa Romeo品牌車在台灣汽車市場算是極冷門車系！
除了國內生產日系車系佔汽車市場為大部份，每年的進口車的市場規模並不大，但因為中華民國台灣的經濟發達、GDP在亞洲國家名列前茅，所以台灣的進口車市場，仍是世界各國知名品牌的兵家必爭之地！
目前台灣並沒有Alfa Romeo汽車品牌的原廠代理商，所以距今20年以上相關的經典老車Alfasud、Alfa90、Alfa Sprint、Alfa33、Alfa75、Alfa155、Alfa156、Alfa164、Alfa Spider，自從原代理商結束營業後，缺乏原廠零件的供應及技術支援，整體的維護保養妥善率、很難維持穩定，這也影響到原本想要購買義大利🇮🇹正統血統的車主，放棄購買的想法！
但是台灣的眾多Alfa Romeo的車主，只要曾經開過任何一款車，就如同中了蛇毒一般；對於正統義大利血統的經典品牌-Alfa Romeo仍然非常熱愛！
Enzo Ferrari worked for Alfa Romeo before he started Ferrari.
yes he did
Yes i did. I own one
Wow nice 👌👌
Thank you so much
No they have announced discontining the ICE QV and moving electric - Alfa is over Crying shame.
They'd better think hard about abandoning fuel . Electric is NOT the way forward for an Alfa
@fritzmuller8246 That's interesting. Why do you think so?

@@Businessvidsofficial your team makes basic errors
Er... it's Giulietta.
They make beautiful cars but reliabity & quality is a problem that they must overcome. Make cars as reliable as Japanese cars then Alfa sales figures will sky rocket..
I don’t agree
alfa romeo is the most reliable car in 2023 actually...
The sales are going up a lot actually now that Alfa decided to move from niche European market to the international one. If people would be less ignorant about the legendary “Biscione” they would bring cars like the MITO and Giulietta that are thousands of times better than a Corolla or Yaris.
Please share your own experience with Alfa Romeo.
