Someone snapped this shot of a delivery truck carrying Giulias and Stelvios. Apparently the person who uploaded it onto instagram is escorting a convoy of car transporters full of them.

The size of those vehicles certainly suggests as much and I have no doubt that the convoy is in Europe somewhere, they had got the Giulia first and they will definitely have the Stelvio on showroom floors before any other continent.

Hopefully those are going to customers and not to dealers as demos but at the same time having demo does go a long way in helping us. Anyone care to chime in on their delivery date?

After a route with the Alfa Romeo #Stelvio a break and a little table in this presentation for #flotas.

Sounds like a convoy of test cars for journalists and they're taking a lunch break?

 

[Khan22]

Yup, maybe OPs photo is where they all came from for the journalists?

 

[Fiver]

That would make more sense than the Stelvio bring delivered into the hands of owners so early. Automotive publications haven't had a chance to test ride them yet as far as I know, at least until that photo you've posted.

 

[Khan22]

Probably just the usual embargo going on which is why we haven't seen or heard anything really indicating directly?

 

[ilhatch]

That's the most likely scenario, but those embargos usually doesn't last too long after the initial drive tests so we should see them pour in sometime next week.

Yeah... I'll give it a week or two just to see. Social media is a great source to even find teaser pictures to help you get an idea of who'll be pushing out a review soon. They often say "review coming in a week" or something along those lines.

 

[poormansferrari]

I just hope at least some of these guys had seat time in the Giulia, having feedback on the Stelvio from someone that drive the Giulia will be the best it gets before we get our hands on these.

On that note, drive a Giulia if you want some answers and soon.

Sorry, but Stelvio orders for "First Edition" version opened in mid January, orders for regular versions started in late february in Continental Europe, and first deliveries in Italy and Switzerland were in late february, and in March for the other major markets of continental Europe.
