  1. Please. Stop trolling us with the Junior.

    It'll be underpowered and overpriced....just like the Tonale, the Stelvio and Giulia.

    Alfa's re-introduction into the US overestimated the "nostalgia factor", and it shows.

  2. Are you aware that in the election for Car of the Year 2025, won by the Renault 5 elect, the Junior finished last of the 7 nominees, even a bland and banal Dacia finished ahead of the Alfa Junior!

    • Man kann es so sehen oder man sieht es so, dass er sich trotzdem gegen diverse BMW, Audi und sogar Porsche Modelle durchgesetzt hat. Bei solchen Preisen spiele auch die Kosten eine Rolle und wenn der Dacia deutlich günstiger ist dann ist ja klar das der "besser" ist.

  3. with an electric motor, it's pretty easy to say how much power you want. in short, 136 or 145 is pretty much the same thing. e5 la junior is still just a facelifted ds3. sorry, no interest in this vehicle.
