Anyone here see an episode of "Grace". He's an English homicide detective in Brighton.
He drives an Alfa-Romero. An 'everyman', tortured cop character (his wife was murdered) looks odd in a specialty sports/luxury car.
Also, wasn't Opel a GM brand from Germany?

YEP.. Opel, was basically GM Europe, with Vauxhall, and Holden to an extent, being RHD badge engineered versions for a time. they also built a lot of Buicks and later Saturns Sold in the US...Until GM sold the whole enchilada to Puegot( Well PSA Groupe) in....2017... then PSA merged with FCA (Fiat Chrysler) in 2021.

yeah... but over there, it's the equivalent (not exactly, bit of a stretch, but it gets the point across) of an "every-man, Tortured Cop" Driving a Mustang, Camaro, or Challenger... and they have a tendency to Go wrong... and get rather Cheap after few Model years...
Probably more likely in a BMW...but an Alfa wouldn't be unheard of.... ( Not much Different than Jim Rockford's Camaro..)
probably a Better American equivalency would be a Corvette...

They break down and get towed possibly further distances is all. If you have a Tesla in NH, VT, ME you towed to MA with four service centers.
With an Alpha you guessing you could find a shop to work on it.

nah... those are European/German Fords...
Though the Kuga is Roughly the US Escape... just...Different...
There is one in my neighbourhood. I like you was shocked. Looked it up - it wasn't as expensive as I would have thought - like $45K. And owned by Stellanis AKA Fiat Chrysler or whomever they call themselves today. No I wouldn't own one. I presume people that want to be "seen" buy them. I prefer to be gray man.
What is a gray man?
Mitsubishi sells a ton of cars. Just not here. They make small, cheap, popular cars for markets where small cars are still preferred - like Japan and a lot of other Asian countries.
No one notices your there. Blend in. Specifically by choice, so your left alone.
I drive a white Nissan Frontier Literally I can park it just about in front of any building in the "loading zone" and leave. Everyone assumes I am there to service something or other.
Gray man just means don't look like an idiot by making yourself stand out.
On that topic I see
Kandi and Think were left off the list
Parts are so inbred if you need something like a power window motor you can probably get one, and it'll be for a dodge caliber and that Alfa, LOL. Remember the Jaaaaag that was just a Ford Contour?
But you'll still need the dealer scantool to reset the up & down stops on said window once you put it together.

Had a Lotus Elise for a few years. Toyota drive train so easy to get parts.
Bend over, its going to get expensive.

I got my Jeep in Houston and the AR lot was joined at the hip …
The Giulia Quattroformaggio is probably the best sports sedan on the market.
I test drove a GiulIa and liked it a lot. The problem for me was they don't offer a version that slots in between the base Giulia and the Quadrifoglio- a model that competes with the C43, M340i, and S4. Something that runs the quarter in the mid twelves and has a bit more aggressive suspension tuning.
Oh well, for over two decades it's been either German or Jeeps for me so I'll probably not stray to far from that strategy- although I'll note the 4xe shares its IC engine with the Giulia.
