Alfa always make pretty cars. Slight subject change, but have you seen the A3 Cabriolet. I thought the A3 was ugly before, the cab model is just wrong.

Alfa's are very good looking cars, but I like the Brera design more :drool:

It is such a pity they have really poor reliability.

As JC once asked

"Who owns an Afla?"

*Man sticks hand up in audience*

JC quips back "Ah, he obviously arrived by bus then" :grin: :grin:

Brera mi non piace!
Reliability - never had any problems with 164 T-Spark - 1990 built, 1995 bought, 2000 sold, 100000km, 2 people learned to drive on this car (my father and me).

I used to have a 147 2 litre selespeed. The car looked a lot better than it drove. I liked the fast steering but the handling was similar to a mk4 golf ie stodgy. Not what you'd expect from Alfa really. The interior was nice though and the std Bose stereo was much better than the Gti's :drool: Design looks dated now though and as you can see from my pic, it rides too high and the sills look unfinished. Interesting, that the concave styling feature down the sides found it's way onto many cars after the 147 was released, and still does.
