Dads new car

well luckily i used to be a mechanic so mine dont cost me much to fix,and also i can get cheap alfa parts but its just a pain in the arse and they aint well built cars.mine is an x plate 2.5 v6 and ive had it about 18 months and i had a fiat 20vt for same period and nowhere near as much trouble so im getting another 20vt.i wouldnt have another alfa given tbh :(

Aren't they complete GM engines in Saabs?

AFAIK only the bottom end of the Alfa JTS came from GM.

No, thats the 3.2 V6 which uses a GM bottom end.

I wasn't aware the JTS was used in any Saab. Its an Alfa/Fiat designed engine and is only used in Fiats and Alfas. I could be wrong though because I don't know Saabs at all.
 
Unless JTS is a typo and it's infact the JTD? That is used by a few other manurfactuers.

Not that it makes much difference. Gorgeous car ;)
 
Nice car, however alfa's really annoy me. They have to fit a numberplate in every country. So design you cars to take one. It looks hideous on all there newer cars.

Only the front one and personally I think it looks better off centered ;)
 
jts is petrol and jtd is diesel ;)
alfa cocked up big style when they swapped their own 3.2 for a gm one as the 3.2 was one of the best sounding engines on the planet.the new 159 3.2 v6 is no faster than my 156 2.5 v6 as the 0-100mph times are exactly the same at 18.6 seconds,due to the 159 weighing 1750kg :eek:
 
Can't make my mind up about the 159, from some angles it looks gorgeous but from others it just doesn't look right. Still, sure it's a cracking car, there's just something about Alfas
