What do you think ? Described as having matt titanium opaque paint, I kind of like the look of it and but would love to see it in the flesh :cool:

aren't they like a proper FAILMOBILE? FWD and stuff?

and lol

8C inspired fuel cap

haha... x] front is ok-ish

interior is nice but to much carbon..

rear is ugly.. i don't see a "wow" factor in it.

The Alfa Romeo Brera “Italia Independent” can be selected with 185 HP 2.2 JTS or 260 HP 3.2 V6 engines, both combined with 6-speed gearboxes (according to the engine, these may be manual, Selespeed or automatic Q-Tronic). The new version can also come with sophisticated Q4 four-wheel drive, which is exclusive to the 3.2 V6 version.

I like the look of the Brera. Very handsome car.

grudas · 17 May 2010 at 00:01

still don't find it interesting?!?

guess its just me... i do like classic alfas tho.. love the GT coupes...

This car looks awesome but the power output (260bhp) is far too small to match the looks.

4T5 · 17 May 2010 at 00:16

For a Production car it looks fantastic. :cool:

While I commend alfa for making the Brera as close to the concept as it is, the concept is still a much nicer more flowing item!

The_Abyss · 17 May 2010 at 00:51

Still not enough power.

Looks **** with that paint job, totally ruins it. That's the type of car that needs a finish which shows off its design.

What makes this more of a "FAILMOBILE" than any of the thousands of other FWD cars?

Anyone remember the Brera concept car? Now that was good looking. It looks a little fatty like a megane on the back compared to that.

Yum!

its personal opinion nothing wrong with it actually.. but I don't like it so yeah its kinda... well not living up to ALFA design for me.. everything is cool but that back-end is just disgusting

2 problems with this car.

It's not as fast as the looks suggest.
It doesn't handle as well as the looks suggest.

Nothing hugely wrong with it tbh.

Mr_Sukebe · 17 May 2010 at 10:13

Stunning looking, but too heavy and drives the wrong wheels.

Pug · 17 May 2010 at 10:17

i bought a 159 for the company car based almost exclusively on the looks - great front ends on both the 159 & Brera imo - totally different to everything else in the same class.

As a plus it handles superbly, is a little underpowered, but with a powerbox is putting out nearer 200 now and ha s a lovely interior marred slightly by the use of a little too much plastic. Overall, i am happy with my choice - always look behind when i'm walking away from it

duc999 · 17 May 2010 at 10:36

Looks gorgeous and the back end is a thing of beauty !

Just such a change from the normal FWD boxes

Begbie · 17 May 2010 at 11:22

It should be red, but I like the looks of that a lot!

Nick1881 · 17 May 2010 at 11:46

I don't like it, never been a fan of Alfa's tbh, also that paint makes it even worse.
