Just buy the Alfa.

What could go wrong?

 a completely different way than you, you will be open to understand how that
 perspective
    is even more amazing than yours."

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Before buying the Alfa pickup an Italian dictionary and look up their version of reliability.


Here's what a typical owner and Alfa relationship is like:

Edit:  the car doesn't really talk, well it does but you're the only one that can hear the car.

Without a question that is the sickest GTA build I've ever seen or heard of.

Can't believe they went that far with it and the steering wheel is still on the wrong side.









;D

That's the only reason I'm not calling to buy it.

Well, that and I haven't found DB Cooper's briefcase yet.  [laugh]

Automotive News published a report last week saying two suppliers had insisted the Giulia, on the eve of production, didn't just fail one internal crash test, but failed the front, side and rear impact tests. A third supplier source told us the same thing. Alfa is denying it.

Very little of that article sounds like good news.

Great cars.

Yes but it had a few issues........

The engine was incredible, built proof and sounded great.  The rest of the car, not so much.

Anyone have a new 4C?  I'm curious if all the Alfa folklore is true with the new models?

Before I bought my Monster all I had ever heard was "Ducati's are crazy expensive and super-unreliable" -both of which are not exactly true.  I've found Ducatis to be pretty reliable as long as you perform maintenance (but the maintenance is a little more frequent than a japanese equivalent).

After 7 years of Monsters, I'm sadly bikeless right now.

I owned a few Alfas back in the day, an Alfetta with the 1.6L, an Alfasud 1.5L, a Giulietta 1.6 > these I had here in Panama, aprox time of each with me was about 1 year, resold for profit[somehow] and in Germany I had, as "loaner" a 155 with the 'odd' 1.7L 8V engine, it was fun to drive, it was torquey too . . . Since I've owned VW Santana wagon 1.8L carb, Peugeot 405Mi16x4 and 405Mi16 GrN, VW Jetta A2 with the "Redhead" 1.8 16V engine, a short lived Fiat Uno Turbo, a Toyota Corolla AE86 with the 1.6 16V engine and also a short lived 1988 MR2, a Nissan Terrano TD2.7[Pathfinder in the US] . . .

Since, MY LAST owned by me car, we've had the Mitsubishi Galant VR2.5 and the Suzuki Swift 1.5 ZC21S
