The Stelvio arrived at my local dealership late August. I had a test drive in a Giulia Ti but didn't have time to take the Stelvio for a spin.

I told the sales person that I already had a Stelvio and she was clueless!

Totally agree with you. I drove one and it was just OK. Looks like just about anyone’s SUV.

They did have a sleek wagon in the works but killed it to put another SUV in the market. Boo Hoo :angry:

A Subaru outback gets you much more bang for buck if you have to carry more than a weekend's luggage. The Q5 is a great car but it's not a "station wagon" nor does it compete with one for hauling stuff around.

If the new Alfas were this pretty, I'd be scrambling and checking my finances to figure out how much Top Ramen I'd have to eat.
