Alfa Stelvio Quadrifoglio
Reference — shown, never scored
Why 4.9: The Giulia QV drivetrain for people who needed the ride height excuse. Driven like the sedan, depreciates like the badge — the most enthusiast-adjacent SUV after the Macan.

The long version
This is the car for someone who wanted a Giulia Quadrifoglio and lost the argument about back seats, so the same twin-turbo V6 ended up wearing a taller body — and it gets used exactly like that compromise implies, doing school runs and grocery trips with real enthusiasm hiding under the ride height. Alfa's reliability reputation scares off a lot of casual SUV shoppers before they ever test drive one, leaving the ownership pool skewed toward people who wanted the drivetrain badly enough to accept the risk. Depreciation runs hard regardless, because resale buyers price the badge, not the engine underneath it.
