I am kind of surprised how many people like the green. One of my biggest problems is how goofy it is to have a Italian car with a 4 leaf clover and in the color green. Gives the car Irish vibes 😂.While I am 100% Team Rosso Etna (especially as a Sicilian), I must say that Montreal Green is the best color (I am French Canadian also, haha). Misano is great too, but this is special:
You're right, that X1/9 is special! The wheels clash badly, but otherwise a special car.While I am 100% Team Rosso Etna (especially as a Sicilian), I must say that Montreal Green is the best color (I am French Canadian also, haha). Misano is great too, but this is special:

While I agree the clover was originally odd to me (I now understand it), green is as much a part of Italy as red and white. Plus, the metallic yellow flake in MG is gorgeous.I am kind of surprised how many people like the green.

I personally will stick with Etna or Alfa Rosso on a Italian made car.
The problem isn`t the clover or the green by themselves. Its the combination that makes it funny to me. But hey it doesn`t matter what others think. I just think its funny no one talks about it.While I agree the clover was originally odd to me (I now understand it), green is as much a part of Italy as red and white.

I concur. I don’t see Giulia and Stelvio launching simultaneously, so anticipate one following a year later.2026 (calendar year) is my guess as to the earliest a BEV Alfa Romeo will come to the US.
Tonale/Hornet will soldier on, as is, until 2030. Then switch to STLA-Medium.I concur. I don’t see Giulia and Stelvio launching simultaneously, so anticipate one following a year later.
Any guesses about the Tonale/Hornet’s longevity?
That’s pretty long-lead information.Tonale/Hornet will soldier on, as is, until 2030. Then switch to STLA-Medium.
Just an educated guess. Typical product cycle is 5 years, then a refresh. So, 2022-2030 = 8 years. I can't see them selling a PHEV after 2030. Of course, they could dump the Tonale/Hornet after 5 years and come out with a BEV in 2027.That’s pretty long-lead information.
I’m curious where you learned it.
According to Italian sources the schedule currently isI suspect history may repeat repeat, with the IC Giulia bowing out a year before the IC Stelvio. But then, the BEV Stelvio will precede the BEV Giulia when that generation is launched.
Thank you again, I borrowed a new brain And built the Tonale in Verde Fangio and of course it’s darker a beautiful color AND metallic. We may still go look at the Tonale in that color when it comes in but since I can’t get it on a ‘24 Giulia QF I don’t have to worry about it. The more I look at Verde Montreal the more I like it but I have to have a metallic paint so it still looking like Misano, which is the color in my order.FYI the Tonale green is not Verde Montreal even though the pics look like it is. It’s called Verde Fangio and it’s a little darker.
I wonder why some paints are referred to with the word metallic in the configurator like Misano i ordered but Montreal is called tricolor and does not feature the word metallic?Alfa rosso is the only non metallic color on qvs
Montreal Green is about as metallic as it gets. It looks like a shiny green June bug in the sunlight.I wonder why some paints are referred to with the word metallic in the configurator like Misano i ordered but Montreal is called tricolor and does not feature the word metallic?
Thank you for throwing that beetle into our configuration, seriously, you answered my question and I have a larger conundrum. I will properly ignore the lack of the word 'metallic'. The wife and I have a serious decision, still leaning Misano but every time I see pics of Montreal I want it. grrrrrr.Montreal Green is about as metallic as it gets.

It’s VERY green.

The green is great. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love it. I had an Ocra QV before this one and that was about 50/50 love and hate. The green is universally liked in person. The only other color I’d be happy with is Etna. The blue is nice but there are 20 other cars with similar blues.Thank you for throwing that beetle into our configuration, seriously, you answered my question and I have a larger conundrum.

Thanks again !
This is exactly why I searched so long for one.Alfa rosso is the only non metallic color on qvs
No idea. And some colors use the Italian word such as Alfa Rosso while others use English such as vulcano black (although I'm having none of it anymore!)I wonder why some paints are referred to with the word metallic in the configurator like Misano i ordered but Montreal is called tricolor and does not feature the word metallic?
You have conveniently forgotten my thread where I said the color disappointed me when I saw it in-person. Several people in that thread criticized me because they didn't know why I was bothering to post....The green is great. I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t love it.
