Maybe their reputation in Europe, which has fewer Government regulations/requirements, is different, but not in the US. This one looks like it has the same chassis as the Dodge Dart with a "better" engine, but ask anyone who owns or has owned a Ferrari, Maserati, or Lambo about how high-maintenance those cars are. Lots of attention required, expensive parts, and not much of a dealership network unless you live in a large urban metro area.
The Giulia has a Chassis developed from scratch. There were no Alfa in the US, but EU had 145, 147, 156, 166, 159, Mito and Giulietta. They are no worse than VW or Audi.
