This is exactly what I needed...

It seems to be almost official - Alfa Romeo will be here next year:

I now know what car I'll buy after RX-8 - Brera Coupe



I hope it won't be worse than Mazda in reliability department. But it will be as rarely sighted on the road as RX-8.

Had to choose between Alfa GT V6 and RX8 in 2006.

I wonder if Jezza will buy one of the One-77's. I wouldn't be surprised if he did.

Don't buy the brera. it's a POS. the 3.2l also uses a GM-derived engine and handles like crap.
The new 149 should be called the Milano there in the states btw

It is slower indeed (but just a little bit), but from some point in my life I started to weight style over specs (and not only in cars). I think it is hard to argue that Italians can give you best style for the money.

149 probably won't do it for me. I'd take Mazdaspeed 3 (and it is relatively cheap here), if I would want FWD car.

From a style point of view get the brera then! I love it even is there's some cheap stuff in there.
Yes, the 149 will be a bad car overall but, like the brera, will be pretty stylish for its segment.
I'd take a ms3 too
