I'm presently looking into colour options for a Brera.

Problem is, i've not seen any & need to get an order in soon, but still cant decide. All the press cars appear to be red or black. I really like red, but i want a red interior. I could then go for black but its a sod to keep clean! Has anyone seen any, or can shed any light on the colour options?

Also, i've heard that there is a 6 month wait for delivery, any of you Alfa guys know if this is the case, many thanks

We ordered all ours with Black leather, as the other options are Red/Beige (Looks like roly poly pudding ) and a blue with tan, I quite like it but our Alfa guy doesn't

Btw Red with a skyroof is where it's at

What are the options listed as? I'd be suprised if the colours weren't already in use on GTs and 159s, so they could give you an idea of what they'd look like on the Brera.

For a sporty modern Alfa, you usually can't go wrong with red or black, but why be part of the crowd if there's a 'better' colour available?

Skyroof and leather are standard on UK Breras, arent they?

I wonder if they'll be offering it in that nice candy-eqsue metallic-type-thing red the 8Cs been shown in?

I reckon the black/grey interior with the red bodywork might be the way to go, thing is i really did like the red/cream interior, oh well

Just need to get one ordered now, & therein lies my next problem, where the feck do i get one from, how much, when are they available?

Skyroof and leather are most definately NOT standard on UK Breras.

Skyroof and leather are most definately NOT standard on UK Breras.

Even the sparse information on Alfa's UK site lists 3 trim levels, the 2nd one being where leather & skyroof come as 'standard'.

Saw one yesterday outside the Hotel in Athens, concierges were fighting each other over who parked it!
Can't honestly remember what colour it was I think it was dark blue or black with deffo black leather. Looked the dogs, even the guy I was with who wasn't a petrol head had a closer look.
Lots of Alfas in Athens, 2 x lovely 75 T SParks loads of 156's & fair sprinkling of 145/146 & odd 155s. Something to do with the closeness of Italy I assume?

Apparently Stu_00 saw a silver one - no pictures though. It'd have to be red or black for me. Or maybe Nettuno blue at a push...

The Tan leather looks a bit orange-y to me. A nice metallic red (like Proteo red) with black leather, or maybe a dark metallic grey (like Lipari grey) with black leather for me, please.

edit - just been looking on alfaromeo.it and alfaromeo.fr, and it looks like Carbon Black with the darker Red 'pienofiore' (?) leather is the way forward.

Do they not do a single red trim, or does it have to be the twin tone beige and red?

Can anyone tell me a rough indication of price for a 2.2 with leather?
