Alfa makes beautiful cars, not sportive at all nowadays (FWD, heavy, clumsy) but beautiful and elegant in the inside. Also, their engines sound well, even the 1.6 (except the diesels, of course.)
The Brera looks a lot worse on photos than of reality, it's low, wide and nice with big doors. The interior of the 159 is very very classy.

Alfa has been back in Australia for some years now...
Their latest line up has some great sexy looking cars IMO, great engines and handling, BUT, OH the reliability...still typically ALFA.
A mate has a Alfa 166 GT, its only a few months old, been in the shop more times than at his home.
1. Computer Problems.
2. Water leak.
3. Stitching on seat.
4. Flat battery.
5. Rear! wheel alignment...rear tyre scrubbing out.
Loves the car when not in shop.....as i said...typically Alfa, but they are improving.
