I'm shocked because I expected it will have a longest wheelbase in class. And not only that I expected that but in press material they stated it has longest wheelbase in category. World preview of the Alfa Romeo Giulia - Press Releases - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles EMEA Press All this translates into a very generous wheelbase - the longest in its category - but contained in one of the most compact bodies.

Does anybody know weight of manual C635 and weight of DDCT C725? -
Fortunately much larger than Vitara. It would be weird if they are following Cherokee design language. On the other hand, mini Grand Cherokee design language is safe bet even here in Europe. I'm still wondering about dimensions but here on last pictures it seems huge, but maybe it's somewhat lower than last Jeep models. It was planned to start sell in Q2 next year. I don't know if they changed plans. Didn't some guy said that Wagoneer will be showed to Jeep dealers?

They plan to produce 100k sedans per year and in Turkey they sold slightly above 30k Lineas per year. So obviously they are going to sale other 70k somewhere. That somewhere are eastern EU markets and some western markets where sedans are popular like Germany or Spain. If I remember correctly past interviews they said that they will sell sedan in Germany and Spain but surely not in France or maybe Italy.

FIRE is near of end of life. They started Small Gasoline Engine (SGE) at least back in 2011. IMO, we can expect SGE very soon.

I forgot Infiniti Q50 with 285 cm.
-
Did you read press release? It states Giulia has the longest wheelbase in its class without stating how much it is. So if we know that C-class had a longest wheelbase with 284 cm we know that Giulia has longer wheelbase than that. RCV is correct when saying that Giulia's wheelbase is 287-288 cm territory.

Salon Francfort 2015 : Alfa Romeo Giulia Avec ses 4,73 mètres de long posés sur la nouvelle plate-forme Giorgio... So they said Giulia is 4.73 meters long?
-
http://www.ukintpress-conferences.com/uploads/SPEXNA11/Day1_7_David_Schmidt.pdf In that document it's said that 1.4 liter FIRE has 77 mm bore spacing.
-
So boring, so old design. Nothing new with VAG products.
-
I thought that they changed postion of intake and exhaust when they updated GEMA to Tigershark? Maybe it's a good block but it's huge with 96 mm bore spacing. If I'm correct Pratola has 90 mm bore spacing while FIRE is extremelly compact with 77 mm. I'm also not sold on idea for big 2.4 I4. I would much rather see 2.5 I5.

Did they said that Maserati Alfieri is dead?
-
I think they did a remarkable job with this engine regarding fuel consumption in such a big and heavy vehicle. Fuel consumption is on par with renewed VW Tiguan with 184 HP 2.0 TDI and 7 speed DSG and that VW is weighing about 300 kg less. I expect that 2.0 Multijet will be updated to 2000 bar CR system and be bored out to 93.8 mm.
-
It's not impossible. It's a matter of will from FIAT's side. Maybe I wasn't clear. I want see this car with 2.2 JTD under Abarth badge to take on Škoda Octavia diesel vRS.
-
What's downsizing? For me it's anything which results in less vehicle weight and with less fuel consumption. They way to achieve that is irrelevant.
-
I would like to see a new 2.2 JTD in this one paired with ZF 9HP.
-
Regarding new engine. Didn't someone told it's (Pratola) unsuitable for longitudinal application? If it is than they can make 1.6 and 2.0 JTD for longitudinal application. Didn't BMW with B47 switched to solenoid injectors for all single turbo versions?
-
I don't know why they have so weak press office. If this is VAG news it will be screaming in all newpapers and web portals.
-
Is that just me or it seems that suspension travel is very limited?
-
Didn't call it 4-link suspension? It' essential for Audi to eliminate torque steering.
-
I expect aluminium for Giulia at least for doors, fronte and back of the car. That will significantly reduce weight of the vehicle while retaining of good NVH properties thanks to steel body. Full Aluminium body like in new Jaguar is mostly nthing more than a good marketing because you loose weight gains with more usage of isolation if you want to achieve good NVH. CFRP roof will be just icing on the cake for new Giulia and will be excellent fit in goal to have more centered and more down mass distribution.

1.4 TS 16v is Pratola like all other TS 16v engines.
-
This new 4cl engine will be 2 liter and is member of new MGE (Medium Gasoline Engine) family which will share combustion chamber design. I'm wondering if we are going to see more than one engine block designs for that family. Even GM these days or their 2.0 ECOTEC Turbo use different blocks, some are lost foam casting and some sand casting and maybe some even a high pressure die cast. So it will not be a weird if FCA choose different blocks for same engine family. FIRE will be substituted very soon.

Compatriot will not use a V6 engine. As you all know new 2.0 turbo is coming verry soon. So with car with up to 4.5 m (or even just 4.4 m) of length future Jeep/FIAT twin can be more spacious inside than KL.
