Probably because Alfa still has a reputation (rightly or wrongly) for unreliable cars with poor dealer service/network.

Mostly from people who have never owned one....or at best haven't owned one for 10/20yrs.

Just shows how long it takes a reputation to change.

Almost as long as narrow minds

what a pointless article. class leading in drivers terms gowpingly ugly alfa, vs some nondescript stty, opportunistic marketing tool.

Not sure how it is any more pointless than a myriad of other articles....?

.....or comments saying a 500bhp £70k SUV is stupid because for that price you can buy a 4 year old 600bhp Estate?

its particularly poor for PH, imo, its just an excuse for tired alfa bashing...ie the apparent lacking interior...which maybe the case slightly vs similar priced competitors but simply isnt true vs the seat.

i dont wanna comment on the comments. some people see no point in a 70k 500bhp saloon vs some 4 year old xxxx, they clearly no nothing!
