As you can tell, i have an interest in this.

Unlike some others i feel that Alfa has made some good cars in the last 20 odd years, the V6 was a tremendous engine and the late 90's coupe and Spider looked and still look fantastic. The 156, 159 and 147 were beautiful but for some reason they went backwards for 15 years after these models came to an end.

Being in north america now, i don't see the cars the way i did back in Australia, they were fairly popular there. But I liked the strategy atr the time, aiming juuuuuust below the germans, i am unconvinced that going way up market is going to work.

As for this vehicle, I cannot get past the lights, it looks like a freakin Jaguar. They need changing, now.

Also, some 20 years ago i sent Alfa a letter saying "if you build a newer coupe and vert that looks like a modern 105 series Bertone example, you'll kill the miata in 5 minutes.

i still don't understand how the HELL they have not twigged on that idea yet.
