I haven't seen any new Giulietta's in the flesh until today, where I spotted a black one heading north bound on the M6, then a truck load of white ones about 30 min later heading in the same section.

Giulietta sales picking up?

I hadn't seen one out in the wild until 26th October (apart from a chap who comes along to the regional meet) after test driving some back in late July when they arrived in the UK.

Last week I saw a black one near where I live on consectutive days and a Magnesio Silver one travelling south on the M40 as well.

I see one everyday now when I step outside because mine was delivered 10days ago.

Really impressed with it and if folk had a more open mind and had a drive they would be smitten as well, it is a very impressive car and it has that all important characteristic, it feels alive and light on its "feet" so is a joy to drive :) :thumbs:

I was sandwiched in the middle lane on the M6 (J3-J2) this week in between a black Guilletta slowly cruising on the nearside lane and a white Guilletta who was absolutely tonking it on the outside lane. Must admit i was made to feel pretty envious even in my 159 which i believe is the best looking mainstream car on the road.

I know what you mean. I've had a Cloverleaf on trial this week so my wife followed me home in the Ti. Every time I looked at it in the mirror I thought how good it still looks.

I drove the Giulietta up th eM6 on Tuesday but after my recent speeding ticket I was resolutely stuck at 73 on cruise control.


I did give it the beans once I left the M74 to go cross country though! ;):D:cool: (Posted up a short review.)

A Juliet on each side of you - heaven!

As Westyman put it - this car is "light on its feet" - what an excellent description. I always felt my last car 159SW (2.4 Qtronic) was a bit of a barge, yes it went well but you were aware of the mass when trying to drive in a spirited fashion. Not so the G - esp in D, I find myself zipping about town having a lot of fun.

The word is "what" followed by a question mark, and in my defence, the sheep backed into me just after my belt broke, the case was thrown out, so I'd prefer if you didn't bring it up again.

I've yet to see another on the road, I think I may currently have the most exclusive car in Cambridge :cheese:

Given the seemingly higher than average number of other Alfas in,the area they would probably do well to open a dealership here. There used to be one (priory) but that looked a bit of a dump when I bought my first car from them (a punto). When they went bust EMG took on the franchise, but ARUK actively demonstrated their new commitment to service by withdrawing the franchise 'cos they weren't up to scratch. Which impressed me actually.

Sorry I seem to have gone off on a complete tangent... :)

Have always maintained that an Alfa Romeo is like a woman, she will infuriate you with her unfathomable ways, irritate you and drive you to distraction at times, maybe even make you think of leaving her. And then at other times she will take you on a ride you will never forget and leave you limp with exhaustion but wanting it all over again. Cant say that about a Skoda can you ?!

Of course to be PC "she" and "her" may be replaced with "he" "his" or "it". But in my defence m'Lud - this car does have a girly name.......


Will crack 1000 miles this weekend. :thumbs:

Just spotted a White Giuilietta coming down the Fosse Way on the B4455, Leamington Spa Way. I was driving ,my Red Giulietta and flashed my lights and the driver in the white G waved back .
Well Giulietta drivers are a friendly lot!

Spotted white one in Telford yesterday - or my son did - owner of three weeks complaining of high fuel consumption but had apparently yet to take it out of Normal.

Saw several this morning but they were all at my dealers.......


Just curious about your animated logo and what it represents?
