My wife has a Giulia and it is a very fun car to drive, even with AWD. It changes direction very quickly and is has great acceleration even with a 280hp 4 cylinder. It is much smaller than the current Challenger/Chrarger, 111" WB versus 116" for Chally, and 120" for Charger/300 and weighs in about 1000 pounds less. Rear seat leg room is very tight, especially for a 4 door. I know "eveyone" b&^ches about the size and weight of the LX/LC cars but lower weight = smaller car. I have owned 3 of the first gen LX cars (Charger R/T, 300 SRT8, Magnum R/T) and part of the appeal to me was plenty of room for the family, HEMI power, and comfort to put in 600 miles plus per day. The Giulia is a completely different design for a completely different mission. My 2 cents is that if/when the LX/LC cars get replaced with Giulia platform cars sales will be less because they will be too small for the same people that have been buying LX/LC cars. But I'm not a product planning genius at an automaker so my 2 cents is probably actually worth 1/100th of a cent.

If they use that platform it will be modified (made bigger), the all new grand cherokee actually uses it, pretty soon anything RWD based that isn't a truck will.
