Seems they still have some bugs to work out.

This is exactly why I didn't get one.
But this is the HISTORY of Alfa. They don't really work the bugs out, they move on to the next fun thing.
When I test drove cars before ordering my 230xi the Giulia was BY FAR my favorite car that I drove, and can be had cheaper fully optioned than all the others I was looking at. But my dealership only had one Giulia THIS YEAR (I think it came in February), I drove it twice and it sat on their lot until a couple weeks ago.
That being said, the dealership here isn't even advertising that they sell Alfas, but they do seem to be doing well with the Stelvio.
I just didn't want to be stuck with my car in the shop all the time, the guys on Giulia Forums needing windshield replacements said it takes about 3 months as there are no third party manufacturers yet. And my dealer obviously wouldn't give me a Giulia loaner if I'd get one at all. So I can't spend that much money with such a high risk of being without a car. It sucks, because the car is SO good to drive and I just love the interior and exterior.
