Stelvio to Tonale?
Discussion
Has anybody made the above switch? I currently drive a well-specced Stelvio Speciale with the 280bhp engine and nearly all the options apart from the sound system upgrade.
It's a great car and a lovely place to pass the miles but I've always thought it was a bit gawky looking from certain angles. I love the look of the Tonale and am pondering whether to get the Veloce mild-hybrid model.
I wondered if anybody has any experience with both. Failing that, I'd love to hear thoughts from Tonale owners. I've seen two out in the wild, and I thought catching a glimpse of another Stelvio was rare.

When I bought my Stelvio (after having a Giulia) I asked the salesman about a Tonale, he said I wouldn’t like it, so I didn’t bother even sitting in one.

A month later I had one as a courtesy car, he was correct.

Interesting - what didn't you like about it?A month later I had one as a courtesy car, he was correct.
I went from a couple of Giulias to a Stelvio as well.
My son-in-law and daughter bought a brand new Tonale looked lovely, engine management lights and interior trim issues within weeks. Former still unresolved. They do call it the toe-nail and it seems deservedly so. It is to say the least, a disappointment after their VW Tiguan. She and I are firmly VW fans now.
