"The safety concerns expressed in the story are false. The all-new 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia is designed and engineered to meet or exceed all federal safety regulations. The Alfa Romeo Giulia will begin production for the North American market in the late second-quarter of this year." Click to expand...

We were told just last week that the reasonand that was why they had to drastically re-engineer the Giulia. Well now Road &Track was able to reach out to an alfa Romeo spokesperson and they denied the validity of this claim provided by an industry supplier. They said the claims were “not accurate or representative at all."A similar answer was given to Motor Authority when they reached out to Alfa Romeo.gave them a more definitive answer regarding the rumor.There would have still been some doubts if he was to call the claim inaccurate instead of outright denying it but with him basically saying 'no' the crash test failure could very well be false. At this point in time we do not know who is actually right. All we have to go on is information from both sides, the supplier and Fiat Chrysler’s representatives.While the Giulia is still on track for production in late 2nd quarter 2016, we still don’t know what the original cause of that 6 month delay was. The initial Giulia QV release was supposed to have taken place at the end of last year in Europe.
