This used to be a pretty good program; even Alfa had it (but you had to pick 
up the car in Germany, not Italy).  Part of it had to do with discounts and 
currency, and part with importing a used v a new car.  I know people in the 
Club who got Milanos on this deal in Europe when the model was new (86 - 87). 
 Don't know if there is anything comparable now.

Another note:

I blew my first V6 donut on the GTV6 the other day during a little 
enthusiastic acceleration.  First time in 147k miles.  Not so bad.  Actually, 
I have been expecting this to happen for a long time -- since I first bought 
the GTV6!
