2016 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Facelift Unveiling Scheduled for February 24 - autoevolution for Mobile

Doesn't sound like much is changing. Minor improvements as Marchionne's plan fails to provide a replacement until the G is long past competitive.

I agree, there is no mention of upgraded engines either other than the Giulietta Veloce. They need it with at least 290BHP to get close to the competition.

They need to avoid calling it the Veloce...

A Sprint Veloce might work though.

I had read somewhere that it will get a 2.0 engine though so hopefully it will get the power it needs to compete.

Problem is the current QV struggles to get all its 240 horses onto the tarmac, let alone nearly 300hp!

It would need a mechanical LSD, not the limiting and soggy feeling Q2 system.

All new front bumper!

Not sure if I prefer it or not. I'm more intrigued to see any mechanical changes, especially in QV/Veloce suspension. They can't use the same soft setup again, surely?

Q2 was mechanical . The Giulietta had eQ2. I had real Q2 on a 147 and mechanical is best but as eQ2 is kinda free of cost so pretty good value!

They don't call it eQ2, though. It's just Q2. I'll call the old one an LSD...

And eQ2 might be free, but it's a a bit ****e and I wish I could turn it off in Dynamic.

 

[cue2]

The system used to be referred to an e-Q2 at the time the Giulietta was launched but obviously they neglect to differentiate as its a long time since the mechanical system was sharing the Alfa website. Wait til the "benefits of rwd" diagrams share a website with any remaining fwd Alfas.
