My wife never ceases to amaze me.

There's not that many about but they are much loved by those who have them, especially in 3.0V6 Super Lusso Mafia Limo spec. The 2.0TS goes OK, and some of those have a 6 speed manual box. The 2.5 V6 is not that popular as it costs much the same to run as the full 3.0 (or 3.2 on the facelift). There are the usual Alfa gripes about crap suspension bushes and expensive cambelt swaps, but they drive very well and are supremely elegant from all angles...expect the front.

The new facelift is much better and does away with the piggy squint. Certainly a lot of car for the money!
