I looove it. Its amazing.. Im drooling... I want oneee! Well to be honest I prefer a Brera...

Nevertheless its simply astonishing!

So it has arrived after all. I haven't been expecting the "159" tag though. As to the GTA version I heard it's gonna have around 430hp to surpass the RS4 and in my opinion a GTA Sportwagon will be the proper spiritual successor to the original RS4(as the new one is no longer turbocharged which is crucial to many fans).

here we go with the sportswagon.....

Nice!! The front is very similair to the Brera, the light are identical and the same goes to front grill.

looks great. not impressed that the standard version will be FWD, but the AWD GTA should be awesome. can't wait to see how they perform

Thanks again Wutputt!

As in the Brera, I think it looks better on these pics. Also, the interior seems very well put together, and it's a great combination between sportiness and class.

Now I just have to convince my dad to get a Test Drive...

Bloody goodlookin' car... seriously.

just came back from geneva, herewith some shots! both cars, the
brera & the 159 look stunning. the 'swiss' 147 GTA looks also nice with
it's white cross on the roof

Great pictures Iwan!

The GTA Version of this 159 is going to be really something...

(405bhp)

Thanks for the pictures, Iwan! So you saw the big man, huh? Nice.

What did you think of the interior of the 159? I'm not very enthusiastic about it when looking at the pictures, so I'd like to know your opinion about how it looks in real life.

Iwan · 03-02-2005, 06:48 AM

tx all!

@stradale, hey exactly what i thought! the interior looks indeed very cheap,
especially brera's interior. i don't know what kind of plastic they used, but
i assume this is still not the final touch, a lot of things where still covered
and made a provisional impression.

personally i missed a 159 in black, the car would look much better, i do not
like the redish version so much.....they also showed a 159 with some body
modifications on TV (sideskirts, like sportspack III) and 18inch alloys...this
car looked more than sexy...

by the way.....the 3.2 V6 does not look like a typical alfa V6 anymore. it is
covered with plastic....reminded me to standart BMW, Audi, Mercedes commodity.

...and...my personal impression regarding 'space' (in terms of the breraa).
it's not a 2 + 2...it's more a 2 + a handbag, i have a GTV and 3 people can cruise
quite comfortable....but the brera...i don't know where a person on the backseat
should put it's legs.....

yes...and i met some 'grande signors', i saw Kalbfell, Agnelli jun., Egger,
Giugiaro and of course Mr. Montezemolo.....

so..enough for now......

cheers,
iwan
