2018 Best Entry Luxury Car Rank 3 vs 1

https://www.caranddriver.com/flipboo...edans-ranked#1

was parked next to brand new A4 yesterday.


Car is awesome w/ new shoes on as well.


according to tirerack, i've picked up very last set of available RE-11s in USA as bridgestone/firestone can't get their hands on it either.

^ Agreed that the Giulia is a sexy car. But the white comment, the C-class looks pretty bland in black or white, IMO.

I recognized that tire tread pattern as soon as I saw it. Love me the RE-11/RE-11A

Didn't realize that the Giulia is that much bigger than an A4...or is that an illusion?

^ True, I think the Sport pkg/trim cars work better, but the base/luxury trim are more bland in white than some of the other color options.

I feel the same way. It’s usually a non-pearl paint, the smallest and least appealing wheels, and the most basic design.

How wide are those tires? They seem a little narrow for some reason.

95% of the C class models on the road are all just different colored versions of the same lease spec special.

I know, because I can't afford one. That's why my economy car isn't on this list.
