Here is a comparison you don't see very often: Japanese vs Italian - Acura TLX Type S vs Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. These two showcases two very different approaches to creating high performance sports sedans. Now keep in mind that the Acura TLX was essentially engineered in the US even though the parent company, Honda, is Japanese. On the other hand, the Alfa Romeo is a pure Italian design, and therefore it has interesting quarks. Either way, this is a fascination comparison!
