9 thoughts about the Alfa Romeo Giulia Lusso
Sadly, the Giulia is not available with a manual transmission. Like a giant tease, though, thePedal aside, wow are the brakes it's attached to ever good. Wear thin shoes and you’re able to delicately brush the pedal, feeling the calipers brush the rotors in kind. So beautifully modulated.
were two of the first production cars to get such a system, which effectively sends artificial responses through the pedal since there’s no mechanical connection. Robot for the win.Again, a manual would probably make me go out and buy one right now. As it is, though, the eight-speed automatic is very smart. I didn’t notice it upshifting prematurely or unnecessarily when driving in D mode in the mountains, and it always seemed to be in the right gear for me.
That said, why are there no shift paddles? There were times when I want to anticipate a downshift just for grins and I’d reach for a paddle that wasn’t there. That’s possibly because there’s a noticeable vestigial gap between the wheel rim and turn/wiper stalks due to the big, beautiful paddle shifters available on the Veloce, Estrema and Quadrifoglio trim levels . I know some things need to be left for upper trims, but come on.
No complaints about the 280 horsepower and 306 pound-feet of torque from the Lusso’s 2.0-liter turbo-four. That’s a healthy amount of oomph and there’s no issue energetically getting up to highway speed in a manner appropriate for anpainted fire engine red . The character leaves a lot to be desired, however. It’s very direct-injectiony with a growly tone that hardly speaks to a zesty Italian character. Hearing less of it would be for the best.

Is Lionel Messi's Inter Miami decision a Beckham-level 'game-changer' for MLS?Lionel Messi's Miami adventure will begin at what was once an MLS gravesite. Some 22 years ago, long before the GOAT decided to take his talents to South Beach, before he'll arrive to lift an entire league and perhaps American soccer more broadly, that league was crumbling. It nearly folded in 2001. It survived, but its first Miami club, the Fusion, dissolved. The league's future, if it even had one, looked bleak.
