Don't Expect Alfa Romeo's BMW 5-Series Rival Any Time Soon
There’s been a recurring theme with Alfa Romeo’s long-awaited rebirth: delays. Both the Giulia and Stelvio launched much later than expected, and we’re still not entirely sure when the hot Stelvio Quadrifoglio will arrive in showrooms.
The latest delay? That involves a larger version of the Giulia, intended to rival the BMW 5-series. It was initially expected to go on sale in 2018, but it actually won’t be here until 2021. Yep, three years later than previously thought, according to the latest report from Automotive News.
When it does eventually arrive, we can expect it to sit on the Giulia’s all-new, rear-wheel drive ‘Giorgio’ platform. The 3-series rival’s engine line-up will be largely carried over to the larger car, and yes, that should include the 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6, perhaps with a little more power squeezed out to give the BMW M5 and Mercedes-AMG E63 something to think about.
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

Please dont have the ugly front grille…
Poor guy downvoted for having an opinion
In my opinion, the Giulia is enough for another decade… Italians: Design>>Sales
*design
And that’s how you get bankrupt in K A P I T A L I S T W E S T E R N W O R L D
I really don’t think the Alfa Guila is that good looking. Sorry Alfa fans
CT, where people dislikes other peoples opinions lol
I like it, but I’m not a fan of the front. The Giulia’s grille is somewhat OK, but in my opinion most Alfa fronts are horrible.
Only problem I see is that is so ANGRY
I’ll wait for it
You can’t rush beauty… Usually it’s perfection but it’s Alfa, we love their imperfections.
So did the NSX and the almighty LFA,maybe it’ll be worth while after all
Good god that was an amazing episode
That long waiting time is somewhat surprising seeing as the Giulias sales are disappointing. Maybe it’s to avoid internal competition
