The automaker announced the next-generation product just three months after saying the current model would be discontinued at the end of 2023. It’s unclear when the new Bolt will launch or where it will be built.

We scribblers in the auto-journalism business so often concentrate on the latest, greatest shiny thing that we forget about something truly great that was all-new just a few years back. As such, the 2020 Alfa Romeo Stelvio‘s midcycle freshening allows us to reevaluate this sweetheart SUV.

Wow, this thing looks angry. And that’s before you spec the roll caged, two-seat version
Less weight, more power, more noise, more money – it’s the classic recipe for car porn that’s served the likes of Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren and even Renault well. So, about time Alfa Romeo got in on the lightweight special game – with one of the best supersaloons money can buy.
This is the Giulia GTA. Angry, innit? And the new vents and grilles are just the beginning of a wholesale diet and gym regime that promises to turn the Giulia QV into a proper track monster.
Welcome back to Fabulous Auto Club, and this post is the largest comparison (and also longest title) in our blog to date! We’re comparing ten different compact luxury sedans which are for family comfort with prices ranging from $35000 to $50000 CAD.
Pricing
Prices are subject to change.
Styling
The C-Class, 3 Series, TLX, XE, and A4 all look somewhat boring, but a new 3 Series is coming for the 2020 model year. The sportiest is the Genesis G70 because of its position and the side vent that makes it feel like a racing car. The Giulia is very similar, just like what you would expect from an Alfa Romeo. The Q50 looks like a baby Q70 and can appear outdated. The best looking car by far here is the Volvo S60 for only $42400! The Lexus ES literally looks sharp because of its edges, not to mention the oversized grill.
Performance
The performance of compact/midsize sedans range from 240 to 500 horsepower, which is a big range due to the fact that you can upgrade to AMG, Quadrifoglio, F Sport, Polestar and many others. I have to note that the A4 only has 188 horsepower, and that’s just another example of an under-powered Audi. Most of them are powered by an inline-4 with the optional V6.
Interior Comfort
To make sure everyone in your family/group of friends has comfort, luxury sedans are equipped with leather seats (heated and cooled), wood trims, and advanced climate control. The C-Class and G70 specifically stand out by looking in the interior. The Jaguar XE has failed to provide optimal interior quality unlike other rivals in this segment.
