IItalian cars are supposed to be sensual and make one’s heart flutter with unrivaled driving dynamics. Ergonomics? Easy-to-use technology? These are not the calling cards. The Alfa Romeo Giulia sedan and Stelvio crossover SUV both deliver on that Italian charm, but they’ve had chintzy interior bits and confusing infotainment systems since they arri...
