Alfa Romeo usually does a great job naming their vehicles like the Giulia, Stelvio, or Brera. But every time I see or hear the Tonale's name it doesn't flow as well compared to the other names. Does anyone else feel the same way or is it just me?

I like it and think it suits the down segment model this CUV is. Likewise with Giulia and Stelvio.

I really like the Guilia and Stelvio names, those are perfect for each vehicle. Maybe I'm just overthinking things with the Tonale's name haha. I'm sure it will grow on me.

You're neither wrong or right. Its a matter of preference.

If you don't actually like it, just remove the Tonale badge and stick with the Alfa emblem.

Debading should clean it up just as well as it did for the Giulia:

That really does look good without the badges. I might have to consider it, but I don't think it bothers me that much.

Probably best to not give it much thought. Wait till you see what the vehicle is actually like.

A name, is just a name.

Very true, I'm going to focus on how good looking the body lines are lol

like most of us
of all vehicles in this segment without looking at the Infiniti Q50, the Giulia is the cleanest

That's very true, SUV designs have started getting bland across the board for the most part.

Either that or they get too wild, like Lexus.
Although I understand the need to be different and not make some variation of what the other guy does.

With everyone partnering up and sharing parts these days, design is one of the few things now that manufacturers can control to make their vehicles stand out. Fortunately Alfa Romeo hasn't lost their touch with the Tonale.

Even design is also shared but within the brand, across all vehicles they sell.
The industry operates on hedges where ever they can and it works.
Fortunately Alfa Romeo does a good job at it. Stelvio and Giulia are flawless!

I agree, thank goodness Alfa Romeo knows how to design a lineup of cars better than most of the competition.

Jaguar is another one.
JLR as a whole is so good they just won a design award.

I can see AR being in that spot as their vehicle line up grows.
