#NYIAS: YOU Asked For It, YOU Got It — Base-Spec Alfa Romeo Giulia's INTERIOR Snapped Top To Bottom
Well, maybe you didn't ask for it. I certainly did. In recent months I've been getting a bit more intrigued as to why Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) was keeping its all-new Giulia locked up at the latest auto shows.
On press days the only cars that are locked either costs a couple million bucks or are a personal vehicle that's been borrowed for a stand. So, what gives, Alfa?

base-spec Alfa Romeo Giulia
HERE!
Today that pattern changed as 001 was able to get inside the all-new Alfa Romeo Giulia for the first time. Keep in mind that this was the base spec vehicle we've been waiting to learn more about. After FCA issued its press release on the base Giulia we were very excited to check it out in the flesh. When I went by the car was locked up with no key insight. But, Agent 001 work his magic and voila(!) we now have photos.
That said, take a closer look at the all-new, base Giulia with us and let us know what you think of its interior.

The dashboard is such an unshapely mess and the way the console creates a canyon where it meets the dashboard just looks odd. The switches look appropriate to a Dart but not a Giulia.

Well it's all about the guts and thank goodness there are 510HP of it. Anything less and I'd pass.

The interior is such a disappointment. It will definitely keep me away. Although black might look better.

In person - when you get past the front end - this car simply looks like a 3-series. The rear end is generic everyone - and from the side - you cannot see the "Italian" in the design. AND inside they use the same switch gear from my CHrysler Mini-van for the climate control. While there is nothing wrong with them - there is nothing special as well - lots of manufacturers are using this same type - you can see it in virtually every countries' cars. Again though - I expected a far more italian car than this turned out to be. However - for those who think the 3-series is fine - this will compete with it. (I Think the 3 - series peaked a couple of models back in time)

This color combo for the interior helps it a lot. The all-black interior of previous shots make it look too Mazda-like, i.e., non-premium. I'm assuming that area in front of the gear shift is the cupholders but it does look like a big gaping void.

Interior dash looks a bit odd the way the dash hood slopes down from the gauge binnacles to the glove box. Otherwise I would call it old school Euro generic. Same for the body. sort of an Italian take on the 3 series. Not unattractive but not a stand out either. The interior quality to me looks up to snuff. I like the wood accents as well. Further this interior does not look like a coal mine like the new Jaguar XE. More organic looking in shape than Audi or BMW interiors but Mercedes still has the best.
