    There's an easy way to anger up almost any vehicle. You add black. It's simple, but it works. Alfa Romeo understands this, which is why the Italian automaker has turned to a dash of the dark stuff for two of its models. Though Alfa Romeo isn't calling it "black", the dark shade is being welcomed and embraced on the Giulia and Stelvio. Specifically, it's the 2.0-liter turbocharged versions that will now be made available with the new Nero Edizione package, unveiled on Wednesday at the 2018 New York auto show.
