The Alfa Romeo Giulia is back

SECRET TESTS  - The road tests on disguised Alfa Romeo Giulia prototypes will start before the end of this year, just three weeks after the diffusion of the official Milano pictures (here's the news). We've learned that the Alfa Romeo Giulia prototypes will be very hard to identify, because the bodies used for the test mules are the Milano ones, maybe even more disguised. So the cars would be similar to the picture below.

Under the “fake dress” some specific Giulia components will be gradually “transplanted”: new suspensions, new steering elements and mechanical parts. Infact the cars basic architechture is the same: it's an evolution of the C-Evo platform.

FRONT WHEEL DRIVE - According to our source, the Giulia won't be a rear wheel drive car (like many Alfa Romeo fans had hoped). To see an  Alfa Romeo with the traction on the rear wheels we have to wait for the new Alfa Romeo flagship model, the one that will empty the space in the line up leaved by the the now dead 166.

The next Alfa Romeo range topper (it could arrive in the 2012 and, like the Giulia, will be sold even in the United States) will be the fruit of the cooperation with Chrysler. These new policies will produce a sucessor for the Lancia Thesis, that'll be assembled by the famous Carrozzeria Bertone (recently bought by Fiat).

SPORTY BUT COMFORTABLE - The Alfa Romeo and Lancia flagship cars, even tough very different in style and settings, will use the next Chrysler 300C rear wheel drive platform. The new Alfa Romeo will be a big and comfortable sport sedan (around 5 meters long) with very powerful, clean and not  not gas guzzling engines, as asked by the president Barack Obama.
