Stealthy Sedan

A sportscar is not always an option for every family, but that doesn’t mean driving has to become drudgery.

At first glance, the Alfa Romeo Giulia looks like a normal sedan, but a closer inspection reveals a perfect 50/50 weight distribution with a 280 hp, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission sending power to the rear wheels, or all 4 by choosing the all-wheel-drive option. The interior is practical yet comfortable, even on long drives, featuring a large infotainment screen to entertain passengers while keeping the driver on course. The upgraded Tributo Italiano model adds a 14-speaker stereo, 19-inch wheels, a limited-slip differential, leather dash and seats, aluminum shift paddles and more, at a surprisingly reasonable price. All in, this is a car that makes driving to work a pleasure and encourages taking the long way home; AlfaRomeoUSA.com
