The Alfa Stelvio certainly seems like it could directly compete with the F-Pace. It remains to be seen in what time frame, but the initial impression is interesting:

I don't think JLR has anything to worry about. IMHO the styling leaves a lot to be desired.

As mentioned in another post "styling is very subjective".
I much prefer the FP.
To me this Alfa doesn't look like an SUV. YMMV

I like the styling except for the front end. I can't get past that.

"...The Stelvio would drive circles round the soon-to-be-replaced X3, is a more emotional piece of kit than the nicely balanced Q5, and feels a bit more refined than Jaguar’s F-Pace. ..."


Interesting...


Not a fan of the looks, of any of the new Alfas actually. But competition is always good!

I don't care for the look at all. Feels like a cheap Hyundai or Kia based on the design.

I do like the looks of the new Giulia Quadrafandango, or whatever it's called.
I would like one of those in my stable

Certainly not as a replacement for the FP, but as a toy.
Probably fun to drive, but then again I have not seen it in the flesh, just the TV adds.
Wasn't this one of the vehicles on the Grand Tour, that Clarkson drove?

Italian Cars. Ugggh. Do they still rust as they certainly did! Good engines bad bodywork an even worse dealers. Speaking from experience from the UK.

It's only 2 inches shorter than the F-Pace. It's definitely in the same class, not like a MB GLA, or Audi Q3 or BMW X1.

Doesn't this "opinion" basically depend on WHO'S *butt* you are referring to ???
