Are you enjoying the "exclusivity"?

Have you seen another Alfa, let alone Stelvio, when you are out and about? Everytime I go out, I can almost guarantee mine is the only Alfa on the road and on any parking lot. :grin

I see Guila's on the road about once per week in Austin.
ZERO Stelvio's.

I have yet to see another Stelvio on the road or parking lot with an exception of a basic white Stelvio at a Costco warehouse/display (they have a auto buying program w/several manufacturer's. )

The Alfa Romeo dealer who had it placed it there was a complete moron. The car was filthy and had no MSRP sticker on the car. So folks didn't pay much attention to it. The dealer probably complains about his sales figures, yet he has no clue about merchandising.

Giulia's ? I've seen a total of 3 on the road or parked.
Saw a Stelivo at a mall the day after I picked up mine. A Giulia was next to me in traffic last night on the way home from work.

Pretty much, I spot an Alfa every few days or more often around here. The part of town where I live is relatively car-conscious and with several exotic car dealers so Maseratis, Ferraris, Lambos, McLarens, etc. are sighted relatively frequently. Seems like every garage is home to a Mercedes, Lexus, Audi or BMW, as well.

Alfa wave?

Really back in the day, when I was a Spyder and GTV6 guy, it seemed we had a kind of point and shake, two fingers wave when seeing another Alfa - is there an Alfa wave these days? Do we have a wave, or what?

I expect to see another Alfa someday soon, and would like to be ready:smile
I have not seen another one yet, it’s just a matter time.
I six months I've only seen one other in my area. I like the exclusivity, but we really need people to buy this car for Alfa's sake. I don't want one on every block, but one a day - or even week - would be okay with me!

Well I had the only 4c in town, the only other alfa I've seen in my town was a giulia on a uhaul towbar being towed by a uhaul van. So my stelvio seems ot be the only alfa in town.
No- and I've been watching for one. Saw a Giulia on the Schuylkill Expressway last week - flashed headlights at him (there's a video for that) but he was looking the other way. That's it out here in the back country where we cling to our guns and Bibles and key fobs!
But... to add... we ARE enjoying the exclusivity but hoping for success for the brand!
I drive around the bay area in california and have not seen another. I would have assumed someone else in the silicon valley would have purchased one.
Here on Long Island i've seen 1 Stelvio, up in the Huntington area and just this past Friday, saw a Giulia right in my village.
Starting in the last week I've seen 3
I posted a similar thread last year...

Purchased my TI Sport in October and have yet to see one on the road or parking lot (Sacramento - San Francisco Bay Area). I have seen perhaps a half dozen Levantes but no Stelvios. I saw sales figures for US in 2017 with only 2,700 Stelvios sold. Compare that to 9,000 F-Pace and 21,000 Macans. Maybe Alfa needs a Super Bowl commercial :)

Interesting numbers, with the F-Pace I believe this is the 2nd or 3D year for that model. If correct, Alfa Romeo is really not that far behind. Alfa has not really done a lot of advertising, that I have seen.

I've seen billboard signs on freeways around SoCal. FCA really needs to step up the game on AR TV ads.
Finally saw another Stelvio on the road after driving 2000 miles around SoCal. :eek
