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.
