FactAlfa revived the Giulietta name in 1977 for a car that shared nothing with the original but the badge.
The Giulietta (Type 116) was a small executive saloon built by Alfa Romeo at Arese from November 1977 to 1985. It borrowed its name from the 1954–1965 Giulietta but was a new design on the Alfetta chassis, including its rear-mounted transaxle, with a short boot carrying an integrated spoiler. Every Giulietta had a five-speed manual gearbox; it was facelifted in 1981 and 1983 and offered twin-cam petrol engines from 1.3 to 2.0 litres, a 2.0 turbodiesel and the rare Turbodelta.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Alfa called the Giulietta's platform all-new — but the front structure traces back to the old C-platform under the Fiat Stilo and Lancia Delta, reworked rather than replaced.
