It does not look like a bad car to me, i think it looks fairly nice compared to some of the cars coming out today. the interior is a bit different that what i am used to but i am sure that i could warm up to it.
The V6 has some nice power for a car of its size but i do not think this car should have a diesel, it just doesn't look right.

I think it has a nice flow to it. It's to bad we don't get alfa's here in the states. The dash looks a little odd. It's seems to come down quite low maybe it's just the picture though.

I love it. I love it. I love it.
This car has to be great. Being based on the 156 it can't go wrong. The 2.0 is an absolute gem and so is the 3.2. Only this is that I'm afraid the latter is just too powerful for a fwd car, like it is with the 147. The only reason for the diesel engine is that many people want one these days and Alfa Romeo can make a nice profit on it. But to me people who buy an Alfa Romeo with a diesel engine shouldn't be buying an Alfa Romeo at all. It's clear they don't have a clue what Alfa Romeo's are about then. Buy a friggin' Golf TDi, you bastards!! :twisted:
Did I mention I love this car already?

Have driven it now. Great car, even vith diesel engine - the turbo on JTD has the same sound as lancia delta integrale. Suspension great, but stability system VDC cannot be turned off. V6 is great, especially the sound. A big plus: it has taken me through tunnel on Monaco F1 course in sixth with throttle on the floor. Yesssss ...
Isn't speed inside the tunnel limited to around 60 km/h? :P

I like the looks of Alfa Romeos...BUT they are pieces of shit when it comes to reliability. Trust me! Two of my cousins drive Alfas, and my mom used to own one.
