Summary

The Giulia from Alfa Romeo drove straight into the hearts of sporty drivers who did not want to do without four doors and five seats. It was above all the engine with two overhead camshafts that made the hearts of sports cars beat faster. But the driving characteristics also corresponded to those of a veritable sports car. In addition to many "pros", there were also "cons", as the racy southerner also had some shortcomings. This test report from back then takes an in-depth look at the Giulia TI and uses historical images and sales material.

Preview (beginning of the article)

In this country, some people will find it difficult, even impossible, to really understand the Giulia. Her conception is foreign here in many respects. I don't even want to say that it is typically Italian. For if the true representatives of Italian taste, the Fiats, are designed right into the heart of German affluence, the Giulia is not. It looks as if it only cost half the price, and even within this framework it makes no effort to be particularly beautiful. Its outward appearance is determined by manufacturing technology and space utilization, and not without positive consequences. The Giulia is only a little more than 1000 marks more expensive than its little sister Giulietta, and unlike the latter it is not only a small but also a spacious four-seater. Finally, the aerodynamics also played their part by giving it a sloping hood and a truncated rear end. This made the Giulia faster, but not more beautiful.
