A-R 1474WD

[Darryl Davis <D.N.Davis@domain.elided>]

If the 147 All Wheel Drive is in the 33P4, 155QV ethos
 we europeans may have another "good" alfa to decide to buy or not.
The 33P4 and 155QV were 4 wheel drive versions of FWD alfas.
The 155QV is a Lancia Integrale (4WD) alternative.
The design sketches I have seen suggest something else
- a kind of 147 Rav4 (dunno what that is in the USA/Canada).
As I am looking for a 4WD for commute/fishing purposes it may
 fit the bill
- guess I wil have to wait until 2004 to see.
As I canot see a-r releasing a 156 V6 AWD sportwagon.
- guess north america may have to wait even longer 
In any case the expansion of A-R models to include whatever the Brera
 will be called (I cannot afford it), the 156GTA, the 147GTA and others
 at least means we have a wider choice.
And no I do not want the sketched Volvo look-alike 157 Sportwagon.
-- ps The Euro Saloon Car racing, notice the 156's are termed GTAs
   with 4 cylinder engines, BMW/Volve objected to alfa using the
   V6 (whether in 2.5L, 3L or 3.2L form). Racing is a strange world!
   Guess the unreliable, poorly accelerating FWD 156s would not be
   competitive with six cylinders!
