Default Sorry April, but that front end is too busy for me. ;-)

I don't know what it is but that front end design is not doing it for me. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure it's a fun ride but I just dunno about that shape.

Default Sorry to hear that. Actually, the Alfa has so much feedback that you don't mind

going slowly and feeling at the mechanical bits mesh in harmony. It's very tactile. My favourite thing is is to cruise with the windows down and double declutch and heel and toe (really hard in a Milano) just for the heck of it. Alfas are challenging to drive slowly smoothly.

Of course all Alfas prefer 80 to 100 whenever possible

Hubby's family has a variety of modern Alfas in Asia, so we get to play with them whenever we go back there. Here we're taking a coconut juice break with one of 6 155 V6 in the country.

Default thank you...

When driving with the windows down, can you feel the speed lasers too? If yes, I'm sold on it.

I don't know what you do for a living, but a career in auto journalism would probably fit you well.

Default Stock works for me too

Mental note: next trip to Italy, have to test an Alfa!

Default You can rent them from some agencies and in some countries.

Germany is actually Alfa's largest export market.
