Driving should be fun, right? Slingshotting away from the stoplight. A tsunami of power when you pull-out to pass.

Talk about surprise and delight. My first mile in Chevy’s electron-powered Equinox EV and I’m nodding my head in approval and mouthing the word “Hmmm”.

Full disclosure here: I’ve long harbored a lustful, heart-palpitating, Bogart and Bacall love affair with Bentley’s Continental GT coupe.

Typically, when someone asks you what you’re driving, it’s a one or two word answer. Oh, it’s an Audi Q5. Or BMW X1. Or simply, a Corvette. Or Mustang. But with the latest Alfa Romeo I’ve been piloting this week, you need to take a deep breath, and maybe adopt a Tony Soprano accent. Which might just scare a few people if the conversation is in the Whole Foods parking lot. Say it after me: Alfa Romeo Tonale Tributo Italiano Utilita Sportiva eAWD. Capisce?
