Default Alfa Romeo Brera and 159 indepth

Hello ladies and gentlement, indepth time sadly with this one I am starting a little series of "small" indepths as they were realized during short dealer testdrives, and the terrible lack of time and desire to drive the cars made it VEYR difficult to have a good amount of acceptable pics..
I had to use two cars to gather a scarce 18 pics and to be honest, nothing special.. maybe just a couple worth the effort but at least I have a proper review of both cars, to be posted in the JW reviews section

Enjoy the 18 high-res pics by clicking one of the previews

Damn! So this was a dealer testdrive, what the hell did the salesman say when you stopped to take pics?! Did you tell him 'just for my records, I need some pics of the car' hahahahah.

Both those cars look stunning, even more so when you find out they aren't super expensive! I wish they had those over in America, I can't wait to read the review of them. Thanks for the high quality pics TT.

Loving the Brera. Think I would put fatter tyres on the back though and change the wheels. Otherwise stunning!

3.2 V6 the Brera, 2.4 JTDM the 159, reviews were posted already

BTW, reliability apparently went up a notch with the new models

Very nice, the Brera is a sexy little car although I think it needs something brighter than this black! Top pics though.

How did you go about getting the drive? Just walk in and pretend you want to buy one? You do that hear and pretty much always you will get a salesman coming with you.

This was a "special" open doors day actually and you could test pretty much every car (well, not the really top models) in the BMW, Chrysler, Subaru, Jaguar, Land Rover, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Volvo, MG, Mini... range (big dealer)

Very good pics, thanks!
Well, both cars are very nice in terms of design, but even the Brera is sportier, i think the 159 is more beautiful and has a more complete look.
