As a city-dwelling everyday car, this SUV with an Italian attitude may not be entirely functional, but it sure is fun.
Equal parts Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, this ludicrously loud Italian will tolerate city driving, but only makes real sense when it’s able to roam free.
It’s a story that starts in Milan, Italy, on 24 June 1910. On that day, a group of Italian businessmen started Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili (A.L.F.A.) and started building cars. Today, of course, we know that carmaker as Alfa Romeo, a brand that has over the last century-and-a-decade given us some of the most beautiful and evocative cars ever made...
Alfa Romeo presented an exotic concept car at the 2003 Frankfurt Motor Show, a concept that translated the lines of some of the brand's most beautiful classics into the 21st century - the 8C Competizione. At the time, Alfa Romeo’s range consisted of the 147 (hatchback), the GT (coupe) the 156 (sedan and sportwagon), the GTV (sportscar) and the Spider (roadster)...

Sponsored by: Alfa Romeo When you hear the name Alfa Romeo, you most likely picture an Italian sports car; that while great to drive, might not be the most sensible solution for your daily life. But the Alfa Romeo Stelvio is a modern, functional SUV that still looks like a glamourous Italian sports car, remains great to drive, and makes much more sense on the school run...
It may've been only a short spin in anger, but CarAdvice.com Managing Editor, Trent Nikolic, has come away from the Stelvio Quadrifoglio... mighty impressed.
Australia is indeed a lucky country. For the second consecutive year, one of the oldest motorsport events in the world, Targa Florio, has left Sicily in Italy, and touched down in Victoria. Here, Mandy takes a spin in both the powerful new Alfa Romeo Giulia Q, and the legendary 1970 Alfa Romeo 105 Giulia Sprint GT 1300 Junior.
Read the full article here. Australia – it's the country where there's always an insect, animal or sea creature trying to kill you. It's also the country that once housed a thriving car industry. But, instead of crying over spilt milk, we're showing the world one last time why the constant fear of death has inspired our local engineers to build a car that's itching at the chance to chew you up and spit you out...
Alfa Romeo and Jaguar are hardly synonymous with producing performance SUVs of note, yet both brands do. And do so brilliantly. The weapons of mass transportation you see here are the Stelvio Quadrifoglio and F-Pace SVR, and both want to give Porsche’s Macan and the Mercedes-AMG GLC a bloody nose. And let's be honest, they do it with charm and style...
Want a circa-$100k mid-engined sportscar experience and don't want a Porsche 718? We check out the 'alternative' baby supercars in the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider and Alpine A110...
If you’re looking for the most visceral journeys, short or long, from a practical mid-sized performance sedan, should you look to Alfa Romeo, Audi Sport, BMW M or Mercedes-AMG?
2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia range gets refreshed New entry-level Sport model $3050 more expensive Veloce and performance Quadrifoglio cheaper than before Infotainment and safety upgrades The streamlined and updated 2020 Alfa Romeo Giulia line-up has gone on sale in Australia, offering buyers a new entrypoint into the range, plus fresh standard safety features and price reductions on some variants...
It's been a big year for automotive in 2020, with the exit of Holden, the cancellation of international motor shows and the Australian Grand Prix due to coronavirus, and the steady decline of new car sales. In a challenging climate, it's perhaps unsurprising that carmakers are reducing their ranges, discontinuing under-performers and replacing older models with hybrids, electric cars or new creations altogether...
If you're shopping for an SUV, it's likely you want to know a few important things. A good number of seats, an ample amount of power, an affordable price point, reliability, safety and – possibly most importantly – how much of your life you can cram into the boot...
Offices belonging to Fiat-Chrysler (FCA) have been searched by authorities in Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, in relation to an emissions probe by Germany authorities. According to a report by news outlet Reuters, the raids were initiated by German prosecutors looking into potentially illegal engine management software used by Fiat, Alfa Romeo, and Jeep models...
They say that you’re not a true petrolhead until you own an Alfa Romeo and I think I understand that now. Ever since the Alfa Romeo Giulia drove into my life, I can’t help but fall in love with her more and more every day. Before we drive into the full review, it’s worth mentioning that our Alfa is the Giulia Auto with the optional Veloce pack...
Rating the 1990 Alfa Romeo 75 V6, informally dubbed the “Potenziata”, against specific attributes and establishing an overall/average score is ultimately pointless. The Potenziata is a classic case of its sum being greater than its parts. It's a flawed gem, so I could never rate it 10/10 on any one attribute (and I’ve arguably still been overly generous in my scoring) and yet my overall score would be 11 (which I believe is reasonable)...
This review of my 2014 Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4T Progression (manual) is one that will hopefully convince you that I was somewhat logical for making my purchase. My role involves a reasonably long commute and it was one that I may as well have been asleep for prior to my conversion to Alfa ownership...
"Did you hit your head on something?" That was the first thing my former boss, a Holden workshop manager, asked me back in August of 2014 when I told him I had bought a car, and showed a picture of a [slightly faded] red 2003 Alfa Romeo GTV V6 that had just come off a car transporter from Queensland that morning. He was not the only one who doubted my mental health that day...
