My daughters new car, she gets a new lease every 24 months.  Fiat Chrysler offers her an unlimited mileage lease including insurance for a good deal.  

I know nothing of this car, what chassis and drivetrain are in it?  The 280hp version not the 500.

It's the SUV based off of the Giulia. Apparently Dodge, Jeep and Fiat will all be using the " Giorgio " platform. That's all I know. And by "know" I mean read off of Wiki or heard Jeremy Clarkson say something for a second about it on The Grand Tour.

Everything that I've seen has made it seem like it's basically a lifted Giulia with a hatch.

From what I have read, it's pretty great to drive in all versions.  I would make sure my AAA is up to date though.

In 3 years, it won't run and it'll be worth $4000.


Am I close?

Yes, and I'll probably own it.

Tony fixed it.  I saw one at the dealership today getting my 56k maintenance.  Looks good.

Hey, I resemble that remark.  Well my name is Tony, and I once fixed a F.I.A.T. on the side of the road with a hammer and a pair of pliers.  The clutch return spring needed a new loop on the end and reinstalled.

So, minus the hatch and extra height, what's the word on the regular Giulia?  In about 3 years I'm going to be in the market for a car, and they're high on my list.  Are modern Alfas still a test of automotive commitment, or are they more solid in this day of global platforms?

In reply to Duke :

Got an Amazon Prime membership? Jeremy Clarkson reviews one on the 4th or 5th episode of the first season of The Grand Tour.

Much as I like Clarkson, I trust his idea of a car review about as much as I trust CR - which is to say, not very much.
