The Alfa Romeo Giulia (Type 952) is a compact executive saloon car produced by Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo. It was premiered in June 2015, with market launch scheduled for February 2016, and it is the first D-segment offering by Alfa Romeo after the production of the 159 ended in 2011. The Giulia is also the first high volume production Alfa Romeo in over two decades to use a longitudinal engined rear-wheel drive platform, since the 75 was discontinued in 1992. ==History== The Giulia has been the subject of a long gestation and delayed launch dates, reportedly due to the design being sent back to the drawing board by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) CEO Sergio Marchionne. The Alfa Romeo Giulia is the first model in the brand's relaunch plan, which involves a €5 billion investment for an eight car line-up and a worldwide sales targets of 400,000 by 2018—up from 74,000 in 2013. It is underpinned by an all-new, longitudinal-engined, rear-wheel drive platform developed for Alfa Romeo—codenamed "Giorgio".〔 Development of the Giulia, and indeed of the entire "Giorgio" project, has been overseen by Ferrari technical director and secondee, Philippe Krief.〔 The new Giulia was unveiled to the press at the Museo Storico Alfa Romeo in Arese, on 24 June 2015, at an event which involved only the top-of-the-range Quadrifoglio and a rendition of ''Nessun Dorma'' by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli. The occasion coincided with company's 105th anniversary,〔 which also saw the company debuted a restyled logo for all future Alfa Romeo models. The Giulia was also presented under the new ''La meccanica delle emozioni'' slogan ("the mechanics of emotions" in Italian).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Alfa Romeo USA | Official Alfa Romeo Website )〕 The car was designed at the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, by a team headed by Marco Tencone〔 and including Senior Exterior Designer, Andrea Loi.〔 along with Interior Chief Designer, Inna Kondakova and Senior Interior Designer, Manuele Amprimo.〔 The car is assembled at FCA Italy's Cassino Plant in (Frosinone), in central Italy.〔 Pre-series production emerged in late August 2015, with full production and sales originally scheduled for November 2015 and February 2016, respectively.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Alfa Romeo Giulia (952)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
