Hopes stylish and sleek Giulia can resurrect Alfa Romeo’s struggling fortunes

It is probably the single most important car in the history of the storied Italian marque and without doubt the gorgeous new Alfa Romeo Giulia will play a significant part in defining the brand as it faces an uncertain future.

With many questions being asked about the viability of Alfa right now, the company really does need its new premium saloon contender to be a winner.

It certainly appears to have the winning combination of to-die-for looks and sensational engines, but it remains to be seen if it can resurrect Alfa’s struggling fortunes.
