Tell them to get the 250 GTA, then you can "borrow" it.

How are the Alfa\'s like (suspension, transmision....), they dont bring alot of these here coz they\'re not meant to stand the heat that we get overhere in the M.E.

It\'s a sporty car. Sportslike suspension, manual transmission, GREAT handling, twin spark engines etc. It\'s a very nice, Italian car. My dad digs Italian cars. :)

Can you drive here across the Atlantic so I can test it out?

Argh, Dutch = from Holland, Danish = from Denmark!!! :evil:
:p

Bah! You all look the same! BWAHAHA! :laughing:
EDIT : don\'t come to America. We eat Danish for breakfast. ;)

But both wear stupid shoes.
Car looks pretty cool. The headlights make it look like it is squinting, but it\'s nifty nevertheless.
Don\'t get too many of those here in the states. I\'ve never seen that one at all.
-
Looks like it has a fat ass.
Put bigger rims on it and it would look better. What colour?
-
Actually, you know what it looks like? A really slick Ford Focus.
-
Nice, but those headlights look like crap.

If I look like shit you must look like vomit from a dying goat.

:laughing:
A dying goat to boot...
Oh well. I\'m thinking you\'ve never seen the 147 in real life, because the headlights look pretty slick. :)
-
Oh, I like where this thread is headed. You\'re next sammy.
:wave2:
-
Yes, a dying goat. :)
And no I haven\'t... Everything looks good to me, except for the front, IMO.

What\'s the build quality and reliability of Alpha Romeos? They don\'t sell in the US market anymore, so we\'re not too familiar with them. I think the layman\'s view is that Italian cars are a bit more prone to quality and defect problems than typical german or japanese manufacturers. (That\'s a false assumption in some cases, expecially if you\'ve had experience with hungarian-built Audis.) :) Is this no longer the case?

Well, there\'s a little truth in this. While the build quality is pretty good, I would expect a few more problems than, say, a Mazda or whatever. But then again, the car\'s so much cooler that it\'s not a big issue to live with. :p
