Thankfully, most car reviewers like Motor Trend, C&D or even R&T doesn't make the car sell. (For example, see the Caddy CTS-V). In October... Alfa Romeo sold only 726 of these cars in the US, down from 900 give or take in September

I would only lease this car. The Giulia forums (that I have quietly peeked continuously) are usually filled with problems. That is not a car I would want to keep. So screw you Motor Trend. Seriously. I'm waiting until Motor Trend stops fanboying over Alfa Romeo.

Edit: I am not 100% certain on the figures.
Point taken. I didn't realize the criteria for which the vehicle is rated is that subjective.
