Re: Alfa's return to the usa...

hi george,  

i won't argue, as i haven't had the pleasure....  but, as luca mentioned earlier, tho his buddy's awd porsche certainly outperformed his 75 turbo in every way, there was still something missing in the p-car that the 75 has in spades.  and, for the money of a new alfa?  sorry, i'll take a hotted up gtwe6, an early gtv, a milano, & a 164, to use when the roads are too salty!  :>)

regrds,

doug s.

   I wholeheartedly disagree. I have driven a 147, a diesel 156, and a V-6 
   156 extensively in Europe and I can attest to the fact that in spite of 
   these cars being "wrong-wheel-drive" they are VERY MUCH drivers cars. 
   The 147 I had last fall outperformed my GTV-6 IN EVERY WAY. The 156s I 
   drove in Italy 2 years ago out-handled any Bertie I've ever driven with 
   the possible exception of a race-prepared GTA. These cars are quick, 
   the 156s are fast (even the diesel will cruise all day at 120 MPH+)
