Alfa vs Audi...
 
After over 6 years of Alfa 164S ownership, i can say it has been good to me. the modern Alfas offer great design and workmanship. I will soon be selling the Alfa since I have gotten my A4. The A4 has a lot of things going for it that the Alfa didn't. i will miss that Alfa V6 song though.

I love 164s, QVs especially.

Isn't FIAT going to bring the Alfa back to the US in a couple of years?

They say 2007...
 
But they first said 2004. I will believe it when I see it. GM now owns some of Fiat/Alfa and that may help.

the Alfa was/is a great car in a different way than the Audi.

i'm a huge alfa fan..
 
or "alfisti", as followers of the brand call ourselves. if it was available over here, i'd buy a 156 GTA. alfa's have much better build quality nowadays, compared to when they left our shores. i've been anxiously awaiting their return. i'll be the first in line to get a new alfa.

yup, yup...
 
a lot of Alfas here in Poland, especially the small 147. Never driven an Alfa, but from what I hear, they're quite the driver's car.

I like the 156 GTA station wagon with the 250hp V6 personally. ;-)

Not if I am there first ;-)
 
I was trying to hold out until they returned but the A4 was calling my name. I may keep the Alfa too.

Yes, a 355...
 
and in the garage is a really nice Lancia Scorpion and Lancia Stratos belonging to my friend Jeff Davison.
