I'm going to tell you about the , the little emblem that's on the side of the car . Oh yeah , you said that it's a four-leaf clover and you're going to go what ? It's Italian ? What is a four-leaf clover doing on there ? I'm going to tell you about that in a minute .

New front and rear lighting on the 24 model . Fast looking shape with rounded , creased hood lines . Triangle grill grows on you with a large lower vertical opening . Uh , unremarkable rear end styling , which was kind of disappointing because I was thinking well , this is going to be looking really good in the back end too . Not so much kind of blends in with every other SUV out there . Dual exhaust and lower black valance . Overall , exterior styling gets an A+ . Paint is magnificent on this car .

What could use improvement ? A more distinctive rear end . Interior highlights include new , larger infotainment screen Now 12.3 inches , pretty easy to use too . High bolstered manual front seats and these cost more . Wow , because they have a carbon fiber back on the things . But I was kind of surprised that they were manual seats . But what in the world ? No electric , nope . Straightforward AC controls and other controls as well . High quality Racy layout Not your mother-in-law's favorite Cargo trunk room , adequate what I like . You know that you're in something special and different and it's good looking and I had lots of compliments on it and everybody liked the car , which kind of surprised me . To be honest with you , what could use improvement ? A little more rear seat leg room . Here's the good part Ready , yep .

2.9 liter V6 twin turbo Whoa , 2.9 . A 2.9 liter , teeny tiny 2.9 liter V6 with twin turbos 505 horsepower , 443 pound feet of torque , eight speed automatic transmission with big paddle shifters on it . This is a race car . Miles per gallon rated at 17 , city , 25 , highway , for a combined of 20 . Believe it or not , yours truly got 23.3 over 367.8 miles . This car does 0 to 60 in 5.4 seconds . It's pretty badass , I don't know what else to say about it . Ride and handling . If you know , you know it's a hot rod , it will remind you of pulling out on the driveway and just letting it rip , signing the drive . Yep , we could use improvement . Nothing Give me more Price .

Wow , pricing on this is well . Dancing with the devil is the note that I made to myself here to tell you about . It Reminds me of the very last Holden-built GTO with the Corvette motor . Does that make sense to you ? Yeah , yeah , the last GTO Outrageous , uh-huh , it was bad to the bone . Base trim price $81,370 . Prices tested $91,415 . Like I said , dancing with the devil . Base model price $41,690 . Let's put it up against the Audi A4 , $419,000 . The BMW 3 Series $445,000 . The Mercedes-Benz C-Class $46,950,000 . Those are the starting prices .

Now , all of those cars have a hopped-up bed-to-the-bone street-rod level to them . I hear you , but they're not Italian . They're not Italian . I can't do the Italian Italian from Niterville , it's from Italian Old chicken parmesan . That's it . This is one bad to the bone car . I hope that you get a chance to get it . You'll probably have a wreck in it with your on-ramp acceleration test . That car is just , I feel , empty .

You didn't tell us about the four-leaf clover . Here's the four-leaf clover story . Alfa Romeo's four-leaf clover , or quadrifoglio in Italian , is a symbol of luck and performance that originated in 1993 . This is from Google . Story goes that Alfa Romeo driver Ugo Savoci was superstitious and often finished in second place , earning him the nickname Leterno Secondo or the Eternal Second . Before the 1923 Targa Florio race , savoci painted a green four-leaf clover on a white diamond on the side of his Alfa Romeo RL in hopes of bringing himself good luck . So Savoci won the race and the clover became a tradition that continues today . The clover has helped spectators identify Savoci's car on the dusty roads of the early 1900s . Wow , he died in a car accident a few months later while test driving a vehicle without the clover . After his death , the team became superstitious and began requiring all of their racing vehicles to have the clover badge before taking to the track . Today , the clover is still a symbol of Alfa Romeo's racing history and high performance and is featured on the Quadrifoglio models .
