Please don't compare Alfa to BMW as far as organization

Alfa still can't get anything together

PS Waiting on my guila to go with my GTS

I wasn't comparing the two companies. Just the experience of waiting. At least with BMW there is some perspective of when it will arrive. With Alfa it is all a mystery. I too am anxious to get a Giulia but this go round I am not going to bug the dealer as they know nothing.

Thank you! BMW is my constructor of choice but I do like my Alfa's.

Our problem in the Great White North is that we only have 6 good months of proper driving weather unlike the southern states which makes this more of an issue for myself.My winter tires came off in late April this year and they are usually on mid November.The GTS will never be used in our winter weather.

I ran in studded ice racing in the late 70's in Quebec with a 200+ horse Lotus Cortina which was way too much fun!We ran on flooded pavement on the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City where we saw speeds of 130 MPH.We used to get full blown dry track race cars out including Trans Am cars of the time.Those were really great times!



Me in a Fiat 128 That I had rolled earlier in the day.

Well obviously you'll need to get some studded tires for the GTS when it arrives.
