Power to weight ratio comparing a track built M4 GTS with meth to the Alfa is comparable lol. It's only competition is the M3 and the CTS-V.

The GTS has waterinjection, and Alfa claimed that the Giulia QV is a track focused sports vehicle themselves. And being incapable to compete with a vehicle having the same numbers on paper is just hard to digest. I had high expectations and now I am disappointed looks wise as performance wise.

The quantity of seats in a car has no priority for me anyways. After all I am not a Taxi driver.

Updating this thread with some pics of Giulias at the NY auto show. I actually was lucky enough to be able to sit in the white Quadrifoglio and it felt great. Interesting the optional carbon Sparco seats are a lightweight manual design. This lightweight approach was also evident in the fact that the REAR sunshade is manual! Shortly after sitting in the car a booth employee quickly locked the car back up and wouldn't let us even peek in the trunk.

Many more pics on my Flickr page.
