Looking forward to the Tri LED headlights (about time). Also happy the the infotainment will be updated. I am not, however looking forward to the digital cockpit…I like old school analog speedo and tach. But, I will roll with it and will be looking to pull the trigger on a 2024 model when the time comes. Additionally, I agree with the sentiments about charging for “basic paint colors” White, basic red and a basic black should be included. Any metal flake paint is an “upgrade” and therefore is ok to charge a bit more and I agree that “specialty” paints like the Ocra GT command a premium price.
I appreciate you giving us new content. For me, this car is a hard sell. I'm not aware of another vendor that charges for basic paint. I'm also not seeing much luxury in this interior. How about giving me some contrasting stitching? I'm not sure how they expect to sell many of these cars TBH.
@@RonsRides I'll be honest, even if I didn't know what was coming and when the competition is fierce in both the premium and luxury segments. The Alfa driving experience is a strong bonus, but the overall product, and inconsistent dealer network, make this a very tough sell.
When are the levante's expected to arrive ? I want to order one for my bday in March how do I go about ordering one ? How long does it take to ship I'm also in the process of buying a home do they require a deposit to place an order?
They should be here in the next two months. If you order one its about 5 months to ship and every dealership is different with the deposit. I would check with your local one.
The sales and service departments at the Alfa Romeo dealer near me is closed on Saturday and Sunday. For that reason, I won't buy one. I will be buying a Mini Countryman instead.
The lack of reliable availability of service at my local Alfa dealer led me to sell my Guila. It was a very enjoyable car, but the inability to reach anyone in the service department, plus the lack of convenient hours, made keeping it prohibitive.
Just put a deposit on one yesterday-this review is very helpful and informative-thank you Ron-great job!
tuned my 2019 ti sport with racechip gts it claims 320hp and 420pft, it does feel like a lil rocket hatch back. iam really happy with the power.
Oh wow thats gotta be quick! I would be having fun with that if I were you too!

They should just release the facelift version and sell those pre-facelift ones with a little discount, thats it
Im not mad at that idea!
Sounds like 2023 maybe a short model year with launch of a 2023.5 mid 2023 to incorporate these changes?
Possibly, theres a good chance!
Yeah, I’m waiting for the 2024

Glad to help and yeah I agree. Its hard to get these off the lot knowing whats coming and knowing that these could be better.

Even Acura base models charge extra for colors beyond white, black and grey. It's also very common on JLR makes. Just the way of the world these days.
@@DDd-hr6mz Not what you want to do if you are at the bottom trying to be relevant.
@@darrell9616 Just looked at the Build and Price for the Cadillac XT4. They charge up to $1225 for various paint colors.

@@RonsRides thank you ! I see a bunch of different colors interior and exterior on the official site
Ron, I thought the 2023 Stelvio and Giulia models had the new LED designed headlights?
Nope not this year, but the design should be revealed in November. So I believe they will be on the 2024 models coming out next summer.
@@RonsRides thank you
