Now my OCD is kicking in. On the tachometer the 10 and 60 face inwards but on the speedo the 40 and 220 in the same position face outwards
Same here!

So, I am with you on the OCD part. However, it seems that back in the day, they didn't care about the "rule" and just flipped the last RPM.

...Oh, and I hate tachs that use 70 instead of 7. 70 could be confused for speed. Especially in this set up where they put the tach on the right (belongs on the left, or centered, as you naturally look left/up, and RPMs are more important than speed).

I think the 0 is also flipped, but as it's completely symmetrical, it looks like the orientation of the rest

I like the dash update, am ambivalent about lights, but the one thing I’m happiest about is that there are SO FEW CHANGES to the formula with the facelift, meaning there will be more when Giulias built and entering the used market before going all-electric. Whilst I plan on keeping my 2020 Q4 for as long as I can fix it (or an awd quad and my financial fortunes coincide ;) if I had to replace it I’d now be happy to do that with a facelifyed car. Sucks that the brown interior option was dropped over last few years, but other than that, unlike many cars after ‘refreshes’, where they get bigger, heavier and more complicated, none of the good stuff has been ruined IMO in 23/24 Giulias.

While a better resolution of rear camera would be very welcome, I’m just not sure a 360 camera is needed on such a small car, and the extra complexity and cost of maintaining/fixing anything just goes up with every gadget. We have a Q7 as our family car, and on that the 360 camera is genuinely useful, as there are so many blind spots around the car given size and height of its ‘waist’. Can’t say I’ve ever missed it with the Giulia.
