That is gorgeous. Be hard sell in the upper echelons against the German trio with alfas reputation for build quality.

It looks good, am in no way in the market for one, but no mention of a wagon unfortunately as the sedan bodystyle is pointless and unpractical (unless for a very top-end luxury car). That is why so many like SUV's nowadays I feel, so at least a 5dr hatch design makes much more sense for a normal "car" I reckon. Always thought the 159 was one of the best looking cars around, the menacing front was just HORN and I so cannot understand the "cartoonish" headlight design on the Mito/Giulietta. From a business perspective for the brand, most UK writer/forum comments often mention appalling dealer service, so if they expect to sell cars of this value that may need to quickly turn around ! The top model will struggle for sales at the same sort of price as Merc AMG/BMW M3 etc though I would think.

P.S. still don't like the "traditional" names for the cars either. (How can you tell someone your Ferrari-engined sports sedan is a "Juilia" For godssake ? )

Wait for the Alfa bashing in the UK and Aussie media to begin.
Who will be the first to mention the R word?

they don't occasionally want to load something bigger than what fits in a "boot" ?
