Would you take Giulia home for $499?

In any case, to address the OP's question, the Giulia lease deal seems a little high for a car at that price point. As someone else has already posted, it seems like Alfa is expecting massive depreciation.

In Florida it costs a whole lot less to title register and insure a truck over 5k pounds than it does any car...

Interesting. Just another Florida law that makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever. Still, even with lower insurance and registration costs, who would want to drive a truck unless they had too due to job requirements or economic necessity?

I would not take it home even if they gave it to me for free.

How much less? I am already paying like $70 something a year for tags, $1200 a year for insurance. I had a truck but cannot recall how much was paying, but it was not that much different.

Trucks can be very comfortable, hold their value, and are like a Swiss army knife. I do not own one, but did years ago for work, and they are very handy, durable, and pretty damn comfortable.
