WHY does it nearly always take an Italian carmaker to really turn my crank?! The last Japanese cars to do this to me were the NA Miata and the FD Rx7.. THIS is the direction I wish Mazda would take! Timeless, classic, looks good 30 years in the future, or 30 years ago.
The last American car to do this to me was.. the original Stingray. Wow, talk about a dry spell..
I want this Alfa. I want it. RWD, 4.2 liter v8 (could it be the Ferrari/Maserati 8-banger?) Sell this for 60,000, Alfa, and you'll pull a fast one on BMW, Porsche, etc :D

Like all italian cars, not reliable, a lot of "visits" to the garage, it lost very quickly their value (I don't know how it's said in english, sorry), expensive maintenace, ...
the only good thing of the italian cars --> very good exterior design, thats all.
and... it's a Fiat

Oh and Alfa's are anything but reliable, as are fiats. Alfa's selspeed gearbox and 4 cylinder engines are awfull, aswell as brakes, suspension and transmission.
Their V6's are schweet tho!
