Saw the new Alfa Romeo Brera on Thursday, in black, very nice.... think I might like one a year or two

.... Will be interesting to see what the convertable version looks like soon..... the pictures look good.

I love 'em. I think they are absolutely stunning. Then again I find most Alfa's somewhat eye candy like.

Burbleflop · 15 Jan 2006 at 22:22

I think they're a fantasic looking car.

I can't see me buying one though, we (the company) have had far far too many problems with Alfas over the years for me to risk my own money on one. My heart says yes, but my head says no.

I really like these, thought about a GT in the next year or so. I say yes, my head no just like burbleflop

Maybe he works for a living, and does a lot of miles

Didn't think they were out in the UK yet ? or you mean the GT, also very nice. I hear in Italy they say Alfa has improved it's quality etc....

Alfas have certainly improved but unfortionately their dealers (in my experience) have not.

Yup..gorgeous..infact I'll be looking to get the V6 Q4 in a couple of years

The one I saw was on a stand in Turin airport, plenty of then new GT's on the roads over there, sadly Hertz never seem to offer me one as a free upgrade on one !!!!

It really doesn't do it for me. not entirely sure what the fuss is about.

on the road pic

and the back end is hideous.

On the other hand i think that GT is gorgeous and would love one

Sod reliability, that thing is mmmmmmmm

megakid · 16 Jan 2006 at 02:53

How can you say that, the back end is gorgeous!!!

*spurt*

I think the GT back-end is a let down, adore the front though, love it to bits.

olv · 16 Jan 2006 at 03:22

much prefer that mmm

Brera looks like your GT but gone on a diet.

Is this thing rwd, does anyone know?

saitrix · 16 Jan 2006 at 08:34

The 3.2 v6 is a 4wd and the rest are rwd. The 3.2 has 260bhp aswell.

Don't see what the fuss is about either. GT is much better looking, was talking to a guy who had one in black with a red leather interior (gorgeous!!) and that was also a 1.9JTD... didn't sound too bad though.
