Wanna ride shotgun with the GRM crew?

Welcome to the other test vehicle for this week, the 2022 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio AWD.

Whereas the rest of the Stelvio lineup gets a turbocharged inline-four good for 280 horsepower and 306 lb.-ft. of torque, the Quadrifoglio gets one additional turbo and two additional cylinders, bringing the grand total to 505 horsepower and 443 lb.-ft. of torque.

On top of all that, our tester is equipped with the optional Verde Montreal tri-coat paint–a $2200 extra.

This is one of the few SUV's I'd happily fork over the cash for if I could afford it, even though I'm sure it would break me mentally, spiritually and financially.  I just think it's sexier than E36 M3..

The green is quite striking in person.

Same here.  I'd have one in the driveway if I could afford and while also affording a second car as backup when the Alfa's in the shop.

That green is one of the choices Mazda needs to offer on the Miata..........just saying.

I was next to one of these in traffic recently. It didn't sound nearly as good under hard acceleration as I expected. What do you guys think of the exhaust note?

500hp SUV, you say?

How much is it rated to tow?

Orlando and back today, so one hour in each direction.

My big question: Should a nearly $100,000 vehicle have this much wind noise? I’d call it objectionable. The noise seems to start right around 55 mph.

So Italian cars are still... Italian?
