  • I'm not gonna be beat by a man in a giant condom walking a muddy river.

  • What a handsome car.

  • what is the name of the song at the end of the video? sounds pretty cool.

  • just bought a 159! xD the 2.2 JTS Lusso like this one, sooo happy ;P

  • @andrewveail You lucky bastard

  • It's sad the 159 gone it went out of production in November at the Pomigliano d'Arco plant where the new panda is being built and now there are only TWO alfas in production the perky mito ( which means legend in ittalian) and the golf beating guilettia. Wonder when the gulia will come

  • German cars are so overrated. If Alfa Romeo 159 was German, it's be priced at least double. I wonder hoy many times owners of Audi, VW and BMWs have to go for service every year !!

  • @Maverickrad I have an Audi A4, haven't had to have it serviced in 4 years

  • he lost his cap and a little bit of hair... what a sacrifice :)

  • he always wear a stupid jumper

  • That guy is a beast.

  • lol man in a giant condom

  • Its not Alfa romao.... its Romeo... learn to pronounce man....

  • @rahulthestudt You pronounce those two words differently?

  • doesn't look that good... looks strange..

  • James May is the british Big Lebowski, his The Dude.

  • that is 9 mints not completely an hour and half u bastards !!

  • what is the genre of music playing at 8:30 or what is the song please? 

  • Brilliant engine sound.

  • great design.

  • Why is the cheshire cat driving an alfa romeo

  • description FAIL

  • the engine on the 2005-2011 Alfa Romeo 159 Engine Petrol: 1.7 L TBi I4 1.8 L MPI I4 1.9 L JTS I4 2.2 L JTS I4 3.2 L JTS V6 Diesel: 1.9 L JTD I4 2.0 L JTD I4 2.4 L JTD I5
  • 2:44 What? Automatic Climate Control? What does it do?

  • what.a.badass.

    

  • Does Alfa Romeo sell cars in the US?

  • @JChoffo they keep saying they're going to...but the launch date keeps being pushed back.

  • That must have been insanely difficult. I can remember once in an army exercise us getting lost and walking through this little bog in the woods, and just the way your feet sink into the mud and every single step you have to pull really hard to get the other foot out, it's exhausting, and that was like a 100 foot long one, not 1.8 miles. Plus without fast moving water pushing you, that guy is a great athlete to do it. James is a pansy also.

  • Comment removed

  • If this car was RWD it would have been perfect.

  • @pe6obutilkata Better 4WD

  • @ITAlife98 The Q4 model has 4WD

  • Just to straighten things up. VAG uses VAG engines, VAG is: Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Bentley, Lamborghini, Bugatti, MAN and Scania. But Porsche is the biggest share holder.

  • new alfa romeos are unreliable and damn ugly 

  • what a fucking car.... i cant wait till this son-of-a-bitch get over to the u.s.a arleady so i can fucking teach these g37's mustangs, ect a fucking lesson... ITALIAN POWER!

  • Why,oh why are they ending production this year????

  • why couldn't he swim ? =S

  • @juvamy01 to me it looked like the river didn't have too much water depth/surface. mostly just thick mud so i would say he had to crawl widely to not sink

  • is there dangerouse fish in that river

  • what a work out

  • This is not related to this video but does anyone know where I can find the Top Gear video of James May as a young model modelling leathers?

  • Comment removed

  • Alright, who changed the description?

  • @OlirockCP Simon Cowell :D

  • @OlirockCP "CLARKSON, YOU GREAT OAF!" XD

  • He could have shaken the poor bastards hand after all the shit they put him through just to prove a point.

  • "right I'm not going to be beaten by a man in a giant condom walking across a muddy river" LOL

  • Gotta give lots of respect to that guy who crossed that entire, muddy river!

  • and now this is how u test a car

    real life driving through lanes and B-roads

  • reminds me of the lancer, the tailights do.

  • @defmex18 yea mitsubishi copied alfa romeo dude

  • Alfa sucks anyways...

  • @AsteroSSB What are you driving then? A Daewoo Nubira? Or perhaps Matiz?

  • @Herrasmiesvaras Or maybe he is a cock in an Audi

  • @Herrasmiesvaras I drive a damn Golf 5. The service owns it more than i do... A cousin of mine used to own Alfa 156 1,8 TSpark, i have driven it, i know how much it sucks :)

  • @AsteroSSB Are you stupid or somethin'? Alfa is like a cheaper BMW, but with much better driving experience!

    Yeah, some of them break down easily, but none car is perfect. Tell me a perfect car and I give you $100.000. =P

    Only idiots say that Alfa is rubbish...

  • @GamerAndReviewer Someone I know had an Alfa Romeo, quite new and the electronics were awefull! The lights wouldn't work, the windows wouldn't open, the radio would start playing by itself (very very loud!!).. And it wasn't a cheap model, Italian cars are known for looks, not quality, german cars are simply the best all-round cars, american cars have the power and chinese cars.. well.. They have the extremely usefull option of falling apart all by itself after a year or 2..

  • @LaurensMalterMagic maybe u don't know it, but bmw, audi and a english automobile plant (i don't remember the name) use FIAT engine!!! Alfa Romeo and Lancia are both in FIAT GROUP

  • @blinkino182 I'm talking about elektronics, the second they install that crappy italian stuff in those perfect german cars BMW and Audi will not be worth anything! I do know that several Audi's have a Lamborghini engine (the more expensive models offcourse!) I'm just saying, i've experienced Alfa Romeo up close and personal and I would never buy one, wouldn't even want one for free, it sounds stupid, but I don't want stress when i'm driving, and I've never had trouble with German cars..

  • @LaurensMalterMagic probably u are a teenager who plays xbox and stuff like that, alfa romeo and all the fiat group use BOSCH for the electronics now (we are not in the 80's), even if italian electric equipment are good to;and try to read some paper...bmw and audi(sorry, i mean mercedes) use multijet and multiair italian engine, voted the second best engine in the word behind audi tsi. and tsi is a evolution of multijet!!!!!

  • @blinkino182 FIAT group using BOSCH is complete horse shit. Maybe you never heard of Magneti Marelli, there is no German element in Italian cars. All Ferraris, Maserati, Alfa Romeo and most fiats use Magnetti Marelli electronics. Better do some proper research before tossing what you heard from some other guys.

  • @Maverickrad Actually the do have Bosch, even my fuse box has their name stamped on them.. also the ecu... however, asside from this, who makes Bosch the ultimate brand anyhow... they have proven to be unsuitable in their ignition parts for example.

  • @RugbyPeter The old ones did used a lot of Bosch parts, but the new ones?? only maybe ECU.

  • Comment removed

  • @GamerAndReviewer i'm a test driver of Fiat group, i drive everyday Fiat, Lancia, Alfa, Iveco and Crysler, but i have a Z3!! Great car, better than Z4 but specially cheeper!!!

  • @GamerAndReviewer I didn't say Alfa is rubbish.

    I just say it has perfect handling and driving experience but it breaks down more than a damn korean matiz.

  • 103 people bought a new toyota !!!

  • you know whay i chose a 3 serios not a Alfa becouse of the Back well drive and for driving plasure. If alfa will be a drivers car with a Back well drive it will be one of the best sellers of all time.

  • sounds are really annoying on that video... :thumbdown:

  • whats the songs name at 08:10??'

  • YouTube....oahusquid....check out the HUGE tiger shark we ran into while spearfishing in Hawaii last month. I think you'd be swearing if you were there.

  • 0:47 What is the name of that song??

  • @755hp Well, I can't tell you which track but i'm quite sure it's by the electronic duo "Boards of Canada" which i've just recently "discovered" myself :)

  • @755hp Justin Scott Dixon - Chill Pill ;)

  • my alfa romeo 164 t-spark engine went on fire!! great cars but, on the other hand, very, very SHITTY!

  • Alfa doesn't look that good in my opinion

  • The 159 looks like a BMW

  • Comment removed

  • @docentertainmentdj NO it looks a 1000 times better

  • what is the name of the song at 5:24 plz?

  • whats the name of the song in the end?

  • Yap, and I don't agree with it (this joke), because I like italian and french cars...

    Fiat Seicento (I have it), Lancia Thesis, Multipla (great), Alfas all of them. From french I like Laguna, classic 205GT, Renault Fuego and others...

  • This kind of race is just ridicolous.

    How can you compare a man crossing a river and a car which can reach over 200 km per hour following a normal course?

    The car is awesome but I'm still wondering the purpose of that race.

    If you want to convince someone buying a car because of the electronics inside because of the gears etc just show it.

    It's logical that man would have lost.

  • @Enzino813 The man crossing the river won, he didn't lose. James got there after the man had reached the beacon.

  • u lads never noticed it looks like an evo x

  • @talisman277 evo X came after 159 alfa was launched,so evo looks like alfa to be correct

  • @Proxo20: They don't even look that similar, so correcting him is stupid to be correct.

  • I laughed when he said "Oh, for Pete's sake". LOL

  • Alfa 159 is nice car, like italian cars.

    There is a joke in Poland

    "Don't buy cars that names ar staring on "F"... There are Ford, Fiat and French cars"....

    I don't mind about it...

    By the way what's the title of this nice song at the end?

    Alfisti keep well.

  • @Kdanren Thats a really stupid joke, not to say completely wrong.

  • Revolutionary war. Nuff said.

  • COURT BATTLE GEORGINA COLE44444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­444444444444444444444444444444­44444444444460153074SOURWINE

  • Have you realized that Alfa Romero owners say hello to each other on the roads? What would happen is BMW oweners would do the same??? Car accidents on every corner, as there are so many of them. Alfa Romeo is only for selected people, this is an addiction full of passion. Which does not mean that Alfa lovers are better, we are just different . This car is amazing, faithful, spicy. Considering these who cares about amortization? If you do then you’d better buy BMW, that is a good choise as well.

  • Guys, some of you are using this forum for the wrong purpose! Have you realized that this is about Alfa Romeo? This has nothing to do with nations. As fas as Alfa Romeo is concerned this is a „handsome” car, a perfect creature. It does not need any face lifiting as the years pass. If you feel it, I do not have to explain any further. If you don’t feel it, then you’d better choose BMW.

  • i've test drove one of these,not bad ,comfortable and stylish interior.feels solid as well compared to the older alfas.obviously not as fast as bmws but decent performance for everyday use

  • Im really considering to buy this car, but with the 2.0 diesel engine.

  • I don't think that passion and soul will pay bills when this car starts to brake down every 2 days. And I would prefer BMW 5 series or 325 over this.

  • @hercegovac00 Buraz, nemas pojma pa samim tim za tebe nije nista bolje od bembare ili nekog gnojfa!

    Ono, airmax, neka poljoprivreda na radiju, tresha i VW znak ;)

  • @Avenger556fmj

    ajde znalac ne seri alfa nece nikad bit bolja od BMW-a i uzalud ti kakit po youtubu.....

  • Hahaha I love it, "passion" and "soul" are the only things Italians have at their disposal, what do Germans have? "Experience", "perfection" and most importantly "engineering". There is no reason you should get an Italian car instead of a German one, of course unless your name is Jeremy and/or you are a complete moron.

  • @MrMadpenguin no soul

  • @TheForza1000: talking in the manner in which you currently are is quite unflattering to your nation of origin. Please cease and desist insulting the Americans, as that nation has done much in the world, and you have done nothing.

  • cock!

  • woo, im glad that dude won the race, he deserves it!

  • 101 Fat Redneck USA retards and Canadians hit the dislike button, hahahaha

  • the 2005-present Alfa Romeo is assembled in

  • @TheForza1000 lol broiled chicken... i can tell your a britt cause your cooking is flavorless and your opinions are equally tasteless.. ;-) my pick up is a 6L and my sports car has a 4.6L same one that Jaguar put in their car of that year,,.. ;-) BTW your shitty jags run on FORD engines.. only reason they run so long.. and your crappy land rovers are produced by BMW.. only reason they run at all.. stupid britt

  • @xmodrock ; If it ain't broiled chicken its a 50" pizza or leg of lamb, you Yanks are so gluttonious.

    You Yanks really are dumb, and there is no way you'd fit in any eurpoean car unless it had the seats removed and replaced with a bench seat.

  • @TheForza1000 again clearly brittish.. we don't eat fucking lamb...atleast our women get dental care... maybe your people would eat more if the smell of their horrid breath didn't make them wanna kill themselves ;-) IMO our super models are 6 feet tall and 120lbs ;-) plus they got perfect teeth.. lol and who would wanna fit i a tiny ass euro car... its called comfort

  • @xmodrock ; Hahaaha you dumb Yankie, you are the most reviled nation of warmongers on earth, get used to the hatred you vile bucket of goo.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheForza1000 yea like are 120lbs 6ft tall super models.. real fat their kid.. ;-) your a moron.. again typical britt... how many thousands of videos of the british army FAILING to load trucks are there? right thousands.. hmm...

  • Comment removed

  • @xmodrock ; Your women are very plasticky with all that surgery, vile.

    Why don't you take that pickup truck and shove it sideways where the sun don't shine, fugging Yanks.

    Nobody likes the USA anymore, always causing trouble around theworld with their paranoid hysteria.

    The dumb USA even defend the use of the first Atomic bomb in anger on the Japanese, i think one would have been enough to stop the war but no the retarded USA dropped 2 Atomic bombs, fugging scumbags.

    Go stuff another big Mac.

  • @xmodrock ; Looking at your youtube channel comments, it seems you are very popular LOL, proves my point the USA is full of dumb rednecks...have a nice day retard lol.

  • @TheForza1000 how the fuck does that make me a redneck? your an idiot.. lol.. i got plenty of positive comments.. just cause you left 1000 bad ones doesn't make me a stupid redneck.. BTW im a computer tech.

  • @xmodrock ; Ther are no positive comments you silly little girl, go play with your barbie doll and finish your fizzy soda, hahahaha USA sucks.

  • @TheForza1000 lol your a fag.. your channel has no uploads.. you just sit here and flame cause your a poor irish fag that hates the USA cause you live in it and no one liked irish people when you were growing up HAHAHHA lol

  • @xmodrock ; I'm not Irish you gullible lard bucket, ahahahaha but you are a Yank and that is as bad as it could possibly get...the USA is a cesspit full of slimey weird tubs of goo, like you.

  • @xmodrock ; Hey fat gut nobody likes the USA, except the retards that were born there.

  • @TheForza1000 thats nice.. just remember WE killed osama binladen.. we killed sadam hussien.. we brought down the nazis.. hate on us all you want... i don't see the great britts doing anything.. lmfao actually didn't a few fat militia men kick your asses to win our freedom?? HMMM now whos the loser

  • @xmodrock

    You created Osama Bin Laden in the first place, you brought down the nazis ? I thought Alies brought them down, you've only killed civilians in japan with A bomb and that makes you worst than Hitler.

  • @hercegovac00 lol the allies were getting their asses handed to them till the USA kicked in... thats why we have a HUGE fucking ego.. lol and the britts bombed the shit out of germany and raped german citizens so now whos just as bad as the nazis ;-)

  • @xmodrock

    you only have HUGE (FAT) women and a very small IQ. And judging by you a very poor education :)

  • @hercegovac00 our public schools suck... but our colleges are pretty damn good ;-) alot of people come from many foreign countries to go to our colleges.. and dude we got skinny women... trust me ;-)

  • @hercegovac00 Trust me america is only fat in the south, i live in the north and took a trip to florida and it was just terrible the how big the people were 0.o

  • @WhenIdiotsCollide2 Florida is NOTHING but tourist's, so what are you on about?

  • @WhenIdiotsCollide2 I'm on about the fact that everyone stereotypes about almost everything, even i do it. its just nice to have someone put the facts straight so perhaps you or me don't end up looking like an idiot in the end. and tourists come from all over the world, so you are basically saying the whole world is obese?

  • @xmodrock while all the allies were fighting germans and the holocaust, america fought some japanese over some oil, you barely contributed to the real fight, but thats typical american ignorance flanting their D day battle, i bet you dont even know about the war of 1812 do you?

  • @Metrodfusion who doesn't.. lol im not a total dumb ass.. but IDK why ur hating on america.. i certainly never did anything to you

  • @xmodrock im not hating on america, just the people who think that they are and have the best with everything, if your not like that then i apologize, but it sounded like you thought america pretty much single handedly won the war

  • @Metrodfusion i'd like to see any one country do that.. we did not but we sure as hell did something.. i don't think i got the best of anyhting.. i surely don't have the fastest car or nicest truck or biggest house.. but to me there just seems to be more to life.. you pissed me off cause i saw all the USA bashing.. and quite frankly im sick of being told how fat and ugly my ass is when im 6'1" and weigh 130lbs and i HATE fast food ill only eat food i cook..

  • @TheForza1000 I seriously think you're just a patient at the National Institute of Mental Health. I pity the fool that gave birth to you. You yap like some 2 bit transvestite stuck in a whore house.

  • @TheForza1000 You look just as stupid as a redneck forza, sure we've got a lot of idiots that don't know where the united states is if it hit them in the face, but look at your comments stop being a fat 10 year old sitting at his computer flaming the united states for your insecurity with your own country and watch the damn video

  • 100 Fat Canadians/ Yanks hit the dislike button prefering their Toyota pickups lol

  • @TheForza1000 LOL @ the Honduran hater. Are you sad you couldn't get smuggled into noth America to deal drugs with the rest of your countrymen we are rounding up and deporting on a regular basis? No respsonse will be entertained. Thanks.

  • @Towndrunk26er ; Who the hell wants to visit America with its loud foul mouthed women and fat gutted rednecks in pickuptrucks and mile after mile of fast food joints, no footpaths because everyone is too fat to walk, not the most appealing place to visit...

  • @Towndrunk26er ; A Canadian i see, well someone has to draw the short straw, hahaha

  • @TheForza1000 And then you woke up and realized you had nothing.

  • @Towndrunk26er ; I don't live in the USA and that is good enough, hahahaha sad redneck dumbnut.

  • @TheForza1000 You watch to much t.v. and watch the naem calling, it really is childish.

  • Ugly car and handles like a tractor with the refinement of a lawn mower.

  • Comment removed

  • @GTODiablo ; Refinement of a tractor i think you mean a corvette now that is a plastic pig, sad retard.

  • @TheForza1000 Refinement of a LAWN MOWER, Learn to read first and yes I agree that you are a RETARD.

  • Comment removed

  • soooooo....

    the video.....

  • i wish alfa made rear wheel drive sports saloons like the 3 series and c class.

  • @cardude1992 155 fought the 3-series and c-klasse in the mid-90s in DTM

  • @cardude1992 they used to but i think fiat killed that off not sure

  • will james may blend????

  • @vicxon100 Yes, but the result would likely be harmful to the user, the blender, the whole town, and much of the known Universe.

    I'd be worried about hurting the blender....

  • cock!!!

    

  • swear jar

    also known as captain slow's retirement fund

  • James May seems really an Italian, with Alfa Romeo.

    I think that The 2.4 JTD engine is a beast.

    It is of series for the police cars.

    No, James May is not of series on police car

    2.4 JTD Engine of series, just on car. Lol

  • I just realized that James May is like the C3PO of the 21st century.

  • the description is...wrong...

  • Damn I love this car espessialy the V6 Ti trim version its just soo cooooool

  • (sigh) ... someone needs a shotgun pointed to their faces :) ... shut up about it! I just see a snake eating a man... meaning "back the hell off" we are alfas!!! :D well, enough... I wanna see James trying not to swear :D

  • lol @ all the religious twats commentin on a CAR!!!!! show programme

  • Sherry, iron my shirt.

  • Holy cow, mulit-page flame war!

  • What song is playing in the end?

  • WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP!!

    Sherry, you're obviously very religious and I respect that. So the Alfa symbol is evil, ok, we get it. Please stop talking about religion.

    FowVayJetta, please accept Sherry's beliefs and stop trying to prove you're right.

    You're both being enormous trolls by provoking each other like that and thus ruining it for everyone.

    It's a car show, not a documentary.

  • @yekshemesh4alig I am not trying to prove I'm right. What I'm doing is trying to let her know that her behaviour towards the other viewers who defended the logo was inappropriate. Note I rarely mentioned religion. I don't have to accept her beliefs, but I can understand them as hers, and leave her to it. She has no right trying to push them on others.

    And I'm sorry for seeming like a troll, but that's what happens when you try to fight fire with fire.
