I hankered after an Alfa for many years, but my enthusiasm waned after the Guilia and Stelvio were only offered in the US with automatic trannies. I know, automatic trannies are on their way out, and I should just accept that and go with the flow, and so on. But I wonder if many might-have-been Alfa buyers were like me. The want a manual because it's fun, and they would buy the Alfa because it's fun, a driver's car, and the lack of a manual diminishes the fun. If I have to have an automatic, there are plenty of other choices, and the Alfa doesn't stand out so much any more. I think Alfa made a mistake with this. There was a niche to fill, and they muffed it.
