That 'fish-eye' type sense is doing it no favours in that pic. I think it's a well proportioned car, just a little less unique than Alfa's used to be. Certainly a bit 'German' from some angles.
Everything is becoming a bit German to sell. Look at the travesty of the series 2 Jaguar XF compared to the original

Me too. First service next week. 12000 miles since mid June and still no rust!

Like it Shrew. Black was in my final list of choices but opted for white in the end because of the front end contrast. Trust you will be getting the carbon fibre grill upgrade?.......

It's a company lease car so I don't think I'll be spending any cash on it. The 19" wheels do look superb but as I spend my life sitting on the M5 probably stick with the 18" .

Interesting trying to book a service though. Called local dealer in Shrewsbury who can't look after it as they don't deal with Lex Autolease. I asked for the next nearest and was told London! Only 170 miles from home. Strange service as when I queried it she then says Swindon! En route to work so slightly easier

Drove from West Hampshire to Plymouth this morning despite the sub zero conditions. Arrived just as Albion was passing Devils Point.

Having ran the 18” wheel for around 1500 miles you really can’t tell the difference on ride quality. Funnily enough the 18’s weighed double the 19’s

Just dropping by so this shows in "My Stuff"

Keep eyeing up V6 Alfa goodness as a potential to replace my sterile Fiesta ST.

Surprisingly good in the snow thanks to Q4, despite 255/45 R20 (non-winter) tyres.

My leggy Alfa GT diesel (237,000 miles) playing in the snow in north Wales early on Saturday morning - winter tyres meant it had no problems getting up some pretty steep hills - snow socks had to come out on one occasion, but otherwise, it was pretty epic for an old Italian shed

That GT pic is epic biggrin

At that mileage, how much of a Trigger’s Broom is it?

At 100k, our V6 had pretty much been renewed mechanically.
