Scoring The Giulia QV | True Driver’s Car, or Truly Compromised?

Описание: In our journey to objectively rate every driver’s car with our scoring rubric, today we give the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio it’s time to impress or disappoint. Is this really the driver’s car people say it is, or is it just… different? We also take a look at its paint and how our wash kit system really does to protect from scratches and swirls, despite their speedy alternative approach!
