Default Alfa vs Audi...

After over 6 years of Alfa 164S ownership, i can say it has been good to me. the modern Alfas offer great design and workmanship. I will soon be selling the Alfa since I have gotten my A4. The A4 has a lot of things going for it that the Alfa didn't. i will miss that Alfa V6 song though.

This was taken earlier this year on my way to work one morning.

Isn't FIAT going to bring the Alfa back to the US in a couple of years?

Default They say 2007...

But they first said 2004. I will believe it when I see it. GM now owns some of Fiat/Alfa and that may help.

the Alfa was/is a great car in a different way than the Audi.

Default i'm a huge alfa fan..

or "alfisti", as followers of the brand call ourselves. if it was available over here, i'd buy a 156 GTA. alfa's have much better build quality nowadays, compared to when they left our shores. i've been anxiously awaiting their return. i'll be the first in line to get a new alfa.

Default yup, yup...

a lot of Alfas here in Poland, especially the small 147. Never driven an Alfa, but from what I hear, they're quite the driver's car.

I like the 156 GTA station wagon with the 250hp V6 personally. ;-)

Default Not if I am there first ;-)

I was trying to hold out until they returned but the A4 was calling my name. I may keep the Alfa too.
