Thread 28704247

Stellantis announced the base model Giulia will receive the Hurricane twin turbo engine. Holy based!

You've been saying this shit for years, retard
Not fucking happening

I'm sure it will be super reliable and won't depreciate faster than a prostitute with a method addiction

>>28704247 (OP)
Please be real also kys faggit

>implying there will be a next gen giulia
if it happens, they'll use the hurricane 4 with 324 hp on 87 (but more on premium), and maybe a compliance system like the grecale 4 cylinder mild hybrid. Plus the optional ev in certain markets.
The real scare is that they'll continue to slap a tablet on the dash and call it a day like they have with their post-Sergio models. If they slightly improved the current interior, went back to physical gauges, and stuck a new motor in, they'd have a potential success contingent on actually developing mindshare and supporting a dealer network.
They won't do any of this shit BTW, they'll release 18 special editions in "partnership" with Maserati and fuck off out of the US again

>If they made and supported a good car it could succeed
Alas some tasks are beyond the capabilities of some teams

the problem with alfa is the cheap all black interiors and the lack of advanced ADAS systems - not the engines - those are fine

>>28704287
They can't even competently manage a good product they already have, it's depressing

>>28704289
Not sure why that even matters. I've never thought that it would be nice to have in 4 years ownership.
>>28704247 (OP)
It'll be shit because it'll be on some garbage stla platform and overweight like the charger. At least the old giulia was Italian now it'll be some French crap.

Oh wow 300hp. It’s fucking nothing you faggot kill yourself

>>28704286
You dont know what youre talking about faggot.

Take current Giulia
Add a turbo 6 cylinder and price at 55k, ideally 350ish horsepower.
Sell a million.

Ez

>>28704289
>advanced driver assistance system system
Why would anyone want that shit in a sports sedan?

>>28704710
300+ factory tune from a 4 cylinder running on 87 is good
>>28704790
they're targeting a 45k entry, have for a while. that means probably no 6cyl base model. I could see the next platform using the i6, but only for middle trim and higher, maybe 400hp, maybe 450hp to differentiate it from the Jeep offerings and leave headroom for a quadrifoglio. But the most likely outcome is that the next giulia starts with the 2026 Grand Cherokee 4 cylinder, just like the current giulia uses the jeep 4cyl with multiair vvt

>the piece of junk base model wop car will finally have 300hp!!!!
>it's still >12lb/hp
Yeah am I supposed to be impressed or something? A 14 second car is not impressive, that's camry tier performance.

>>28704289
>cheap all black interiors
I've got saddle brown/tan in mine. The fact that they removed the two tone door panels from most color combos is another issue, however.
>lack of advanced ADAS systems
ACC that works in stop and go traffic, lane departure warnings, blind spot warnings, collision warnings aren't enough for you? I disable most of those nannies in my Giulia as it is - the '19 or '20+ models have full on lane keeping assist, but I don't want to own a vehicle that can "take over" the steering from the driver.
I like the 2.0 in the Giulia as well - it outperforms it's competition in performance (330i, C300, A4 2.0T, CT4 2.0 etc) and can even hit 37-40mpg on the highway making it a great daily, but the lack of a true "mid range" offering to compete with the likes of the M340i, C43, S4 and CT4-V (non-BW) means they're missing out on another niche.
They could easily adapt and drop in the Hurricane I6 which makes 420hp in it's "least" tuned form, but I know they wouldn't like the fact that you could up that to 540hp with a factory tune, since it would make the Quadrifoglio rather redundant (although you can tune, say, an M340i to beat a stock M3 easily, yet that doesn't take away sales from either car)
>>28705340
Yeah am I supposed to be impressed or something?
Actually, yeah. It makes more power and is faster and lighter than the cars it actually competes against, which I've already mentioned. It's a base model compact exec sedan that outperforms it's competition, not a Quadrifoglio. It runs about mid-13s anyway - a tune gets you into the 12s, and a hybrid turbo is going to easily have you into the 11s. My tuned 2.0 Giulia is about as fast as my E55 AMG up to 70ish mph, actually, which is something I do find impressive.

>300hp
So less than a factory V6 mustang from a decade ago (?)

>>28705367
The only cyclone V6 making more power than the new grand Cherokee 4 cylinder (324hp, 87 octane, emissions compliant, warrantied) is tuned by radical for a dedicated track car. Or you could be talking about the current 4cyl in the giulia, which yeah makes 280 from the factory, again emissions compliant, smooth enough for daily use by the elderly instead of a peaky power-over-all-until-redline track tune, and it's warrantied.

>>28705364
>hurr durr but modded
don't care. I modded a 35 year old BMW and made it as fast as a corvette, that's completely irrelevant to it as it was new.

>It makes more power and is faster and lighter than the cars it actually competes against, which I've already mentioned.
No you didn't. You mentioned it after I posted, not "already".

>>28705364

Pffffft they don't even have leather on the B pillar, kek. I mean the 156 did that, the door trim continued into the B pillar. That was fucking based.
