Awfully quiet out there.

I guess there are still a lot of questions out there that remained unresolved. I wish the head of production for Alfa NA would do a Q&A on here.

Still waiting on USA based reviewers to get their hands on it and throwing it against the competition. The reviews in Europe have been mixed, some love it, others are just giving so-so reviews. Some say has Alfa characteristics others say the looks don't match the experience. Nobody seems impressed with manual mode using paddles.

Still no real world sample of a car (USA car) with verde fangio tri-coat. Heard again from dealer it's darker than montreal green.

Warranty on battery questions still out there.

Still no VIN on my car, dealer seems in the dark leading me to believe June or July car might arrive.

Fuel mileage still undetermined.

Virtually no marketing/advertising of Tonale in USA. Not a fan of the Euro commercials.

As one who ordered the 20" rims on the Veloce trim I'm really interested in the bumpy road button. How much a difference it will make in daily driving.

Assuming run flats?

Just some ?'s that come to mind.

If Alfa Cares can answer some questions we have that would be great. I am wondering if the Homelink garage door opener is integrated in car as it is in the Guilia and Stelvio. I heard the delivery dates for those who ordered the Tonale in Feb and March will be late May and June.
Last week, there were a few Youtube reviews released for Dodge Hornet, which is just a rebadged Tonale. The driving dynamics should be very close, if not identical.

As for the green, my dealership told me that it is the same colour. Not sure if I would take that. Anyhow, I feel Alfa is asking too much for this colour. I would rather use that money to do a special wrap.

Can you link me to reviews of manual mode? I have been concerned about it, since I have had bad experiences in the past with PHEV paddle shifters (VW GTE).

AR has been advertising on the back of the AROC Alfa Owner magazine, for the past three issues (Feb, Mar, April 2023).

I think the tagline should be changed to read: "Turns Heads. Sparks Passion." Plus, a visible charging cord.

Most European reviews are for the "mild hybrid" version which is substantially weaker than the PHEV. Reviews for the PHEV have generally been very positive.

I thought the same thing about the green color. I love it!

BUT, what Alfa is charging for it, I ordered the black and will spend the difference on professional ceramic coating on the car plus on the 20" wheels and brake calipers
