I had the Alfa for two days and I still have the Corolla.

Alfa interior is mindblowing as usual. The car feels great, handles properly.

I love it!

The Corolla is a fine car. That's it :roll:

Did you try to take the Xwagon offroad? If so, any good?

nope.....not yet

I think the car will be in the office till monday, and on saturday I'll be using that car to go the track my boss owns ( posted modena pics from there....a couple of months back...).

The whole team will go there. There will be a VTEC Honda show there and we'll keep an eye on things.

I'll probably take the nice Q4 for a spin to the nearby woods and then do a few laps on the track...

Untill then, my oppinion is that off road this car ain't worth much

We'll see.

I haven't read any tests of it yet...

The couple of reviews I read both confirmed it is not really a hit as far as offroading is concerned, but considering it was like a first try to test what could come in the future lineup, I guess it's normal

Yes, I guess you're right! I mean, imo alfa should stick to sporty cars, maybe even return to rwd in the bigger cars.....I wouldn't mind an off roader, a real "jeep", but trying to make something out of the smaller models just seems a kick in the dark...

But who could blame them, everybody wan't to get a piece of the pie these days.... :roll:

I'm not a fan of this Alfa, the interior looks great but other than that it doesn't impress me.

The Corolla is a nice little car, but not for me.

Do you know what cars you will be testing in the near future? Any exotics?

Don't know yet. I think some Jaguars are sight and the Chrysler 300,
I really don't know.

I'm sure something will come up.

Oh, I just remembered....my boss is suppost to get his f430 spider in the month of June, so I guess some nice pics will be in order.

Ofcorse I'll try to get a ride with him.....

But the most important news I found out in the last few days is that he ordered three ( 3! ) Veyrons. He'll probably drive each one for a month or two and then selling it, making money... just like he did with the f430, CGT and so on.....

That news is no offical yet, but since he was talking with the director of Bugatti about it, I guess there is something going on.....so with little luck
I'll be sitting in a Veyron looking at the speedo going over 200mph :roll:

^^^
:shock: :shock: :shock: 3 of them? Well I hope for JW sake you'll have a ride in it so we can watch the vids and loads of pics you took. I'm not really a fan of the Veyron, but it is an impressive car without a doubt.

I agree completely with your statement about Alfa keeping in line with their tradition of sporty cars.
