Big savings to be made on the Alfa Giulia 2.9 V6 Quadrifoglio. 500 bhp 2.9 V6 Bi-Turbo (effectively a ferrari engine less two cylinders). I have driven modern Jaguars and hate the lifeless blancmange steering. BMW is better with at least some feel (I have a 340i). However, having driven the Alfa (great steering feel) I'm very tempted to buy one. Try it -- just the sound of the engine revving will win you over. In Italy (though not in RHD) you can even get one with a manual gearbox.
