Update 16 April 2024: You just gotta love the Italians. After having been launched as the Alfa Romeo Milano, an Italian government official declared that the use of the name 'Milano' is banned by law. So folks, here we have the Alfa Romeo Junior. Compact controversy indeed! Sean and I were having a chat about Alfa Romeo the other day. I mentioned that if it was not for the fact that sedans and hatchbacks don't sell as well today, Alfa Romeo would build a hot-hatch successor to the Giulietta if they had their own way.

I'm going to make a statement here that may offend some, but so be it. Only a soulless non-player character (NPC) could get into an Alfa Romeo - any Alfa Romeo - and not have a smile on their face, because the smile actually emanates from the heart. Such is the effect of Alfa Romeo's charismatic Italian cuore sportivo or sporting heart. And so it is with the Giulia Veloce. From the moment one lays eyes on it to the drive itself, you'll know that you're in the presence of something truly special. There's no other premium sedan in its price range that will put a similar smile in your heart and on your face. Nothing. Especially in the test car's bright Alfa White. Boy, does it turn heads. Esterno From the shield that hangs from the bumper's top to lower lip to the two 'wings' in a nod toward the days of Alfa Romeo Avio, this is a distinctly Alfa Romeo face. Adding to the front-end dramatics is a refreshed look courtesy of the new 'trilobe' matrix LED headlights which replace the xenon units of the pre-facelift version, and is definitely a welcome change. Those 'trilobes' also house sequential turn signals, and are a pretty sight to behold at night.

Readers familiar with this writer would know that I prefer wagons or estates to sedans. And so, writing with great glee, I'm thrilled to share with you that there will be a wagon version of the BMW 5 Series for this generation. This is the sixth BMW 5 Series Touring, born out of the eighth-generation 5 Series. Code-named G61, as opposed to the G60 sedan version, the official launch in Germany, many other European countries and Japan will begin in May 2024. Other markets are set to follow in June 2024. Compared to its predecessor, the new G61 is 97mm longer at 5,060mm, 32mm wider at 1,900mm and 17mm taller at 1,515mm. This 5'er Touring has the longest wheelbase in its class, increasing by 20 millimetres to 2,995 millimetres. For the first time, the 5'er Touring will be available as a battery electric vehicle (EV or BEV), and headlining the EV segment is the i5 M60 xDrive Touring.
