The Week That Was: Alfa Romeo Giulia, Ford Ranger, Holden’s Future

Alfa Romeo unveiled its new Giulia sedan this week, showcasing the sedan in its top-shelf Quadrifoglio Verde form at a special event in Milan.

As revealed in a pair of leaked spy shots, the new Giulia boasts muscular proportions, matched to understated styling and that bold Alfa red finish. Yes, this is a traditional Italian sports sedan.

The carmaker announced the Giulia will be heading to Australia, but exact timing is still to be confirmed.

Ford Australia has handed down final pricing for its refreshed Ranger line-up, due here in September.

When it lands, just one month before the new HiLux, the PX MkII range will kick off at $27,390 plus on-road costs.

That marks a $3000 increase over the current cost of entry into the outgoing range, while stepping into the most affordable up-spec XLT brings a $2450 increase over the cheapest XLT in the current line-up.
