SO in conclusion flare and naples are the same yellow?

Lol, i have Michelin Alpins for the winter months, as the stock Pireliis Corsa, whilst an outstanding tyre once warmed up in dry conditions, can be a bit lethal in the wet when cold! Never come across Turanzas before, but seems they are a bit of an allrounder.

i looked in the general 'brochure' that the dealer gave me last weekend and the yellow is listed as' Naples' in there but just looked at online configurator and it is indeed flare yellow. Thats a bit odd. The brochure doesn't mention the limited at all. edit* btw Nemesis, is the pic on your post yours, if so seems you have tracked it, how was that and what sort of tyre and brake waer was there? General question too, what are the stock tyres, and what are folks running? Anyone running summer and winters?

I like the door inserts, not so keen on the white seats though! this is Naples yellow same as the option for the 'normal' version, wonder if Naples yellow will be removed as an option from the non limited models when this goes on sale. Doesnt appeal much too me, so will ultimately be looking at non limited one. any pros and cons on the glass vs CF roof from existing owners?

thanks, the colours are all mostly very nice and make the car look great regardless, but bar the yellow, sonic red and white, there a bit subtle which is fine and they all look lovely but i think i would like a bit of standout in such a beast as this. To me it seems there's a bit of a gap in the palette for a lighter blue, not to say a green (but im just weird in wanting green cars!) Again spooky that the facebook post was today and i posted yesterday! cant work out if its a differnet shade to the 'standard' yellow, but quite like the yellow door lining accents.

oh thats annoying. but a fantastic color all the same. That article seems to be dated today? if thats correct bit spooky that i posted here yesterday about it! guess dealers knew it was imminent.

cheers very helpful. ive only known turbos in my brief car owning life, so never had the joy of an n/a engine, i dont think the c63 i tested had the old n/a engine in it, im fairly certain their V8s in that are now turbocharged. i can say the turbo in the quad is outstanding, no lag and keeps going at the top end and its not that torquey compared with the c63 although i guess more so than the LC. 25 sounds quite good!

thanks, no not after that level of performance in a coupe as i will be keeping the Quad, or Alfetta QV if they ever make one 😒, so no requirement for it to be that fast, was just curious how those who know both would say it goes comparatively, thanks for confirming! re. the yellow, im not sure i like it, i think it shows the lines well, and unlike some i dont mind the attention it would garner but not convinced on it, but think i would plump for white, if no light blue (or green!) option becomes available, sonic red is nice, but Quad is competizione red and although sonic is lighter, i think i would like something different. If the new limited edition is yellow, i would assume they will bring a new shade of yellow out for it for exclusivity reasons? Was the current blue in the limited available generally before the limited came out does anyone know? Also probably an unknown at this point, but what year on year changes are likely in a 2019 model? (were there changes from 17 to 18 models? - not visually, i mean smaller things)

Thanks, re. performance, i'm not bothered that this wont be particularly hot, just wondered how people who had experience of things like my Quad, or M3, C63 or other 500hp torquey car etc, have found the LC comparatively. My Quad has more than enough for me! (although i guess the F will be pretty hot) Re. next limited, my local dealer said the Blue one is sold out, and that a new Limited run will be released soon, and its meant to be yellow in color.

Hello folks, i posted this on PH but 0 response, so registered here, and keen to get some info. As way of background, current garage is a 330d and Giulia Quad, the latter i suppose in terms of power is somewhat similar 😉 (this would not be a Quad replacement, thats a keeper!) .... Serious looking at getting one of these to scratch the coupe itch, and previously leaning towards an F Type R, but the recent article on PH about the F version has made me look at in depth at a car i was only vaguely aware of and i'm increasingly wanting one over an f type (unless i somehow managed to get a chance at Lister Thunder) once i get permission to scratch the coupe itch! Would likely wait until the next Limited edition comes out to see what color tone it is (ive heard yellow from the dealer i visited at weekend) as the current is sold out (according to said dealer)despite it still being listed i have been advised, - not sure i would like yellow (although i do like the shade on the configurator) but love the blue of the current Limited one, and wondering if a lighter blue will come into the 'normal' color palate now? I wont be able to justify the F version i don't think sadly 😞 so would be either limited or sport +pack Dealer says lead times are not to bad, discounts unlikely and finance rates at 5.9%!!! (luckily PCP is not a requirement for me, but I asked as in the past dealers have offered far better deals on finance than cash ime, clearly not on this model though!) Keen to hear UK owners experiences, and what if any deals they got (also maybe performance wise to a super saloon - i will have a test drive at some point but only have experience of an f type coupe wise so far) and wondering if anyone has any idea on my points above as i know dealers are not always that accurate...well maybe thats just Alfa dealers 😂 Cheers TPM
