Not a big change . . .

4-wheel drive, that's a biggish change for the somewhat understeery 156. I had a 156V6 and loved it and I wouldn't say no to 4wd 260bhp version.

I HATE those blasted pop-overs!

My god it's ugly.

I've always loved the look of the 156, especially with the sports suspension that drops them down to a sensible height. (Well probably not sensible if you have speed bumps).

That looks pretty much identical apart from those awful looking headlights.

It's not really a different looking car . . . Bigger grille . . . just like the latest 147 . . .

It still is a nice looker but after - what - 8 years we all want a new car do we. We want the neighbour to say: "hey, is that your new Alfa?" . . . and now it could be a new looking old one.

Check new Audi: they are made a bit wider and have more roadpresence. Better curves and they look solid as a rock.

A bit more Brera-lining . . . please? I bet they drive perfectly.

The best looking cars don't really date. Place the original 156 against the new 159 and I couldn't say one is better looking than the other.....just different. This new 159 is another "classic" Alfa, in my opinion.

The Brera is also stunning and I can't wait to see it in the metal.

Gorgeous styling, 4-wheel drive and a big V6?
