Alfa Romeo 146

The Alfa Romeo 146 1.6 is produced by the Italian automaker Alfa Romeo between 1994 and 2001.

A spacious and uniquely Italian interior was presented to the press at the launch, and by all accounts it was well received.

Its oddly shaped cut-away dashboard attracted much attention, but in fact the design was for safety and practicality rather than aesthetics.

The Alfa Romeo 146 was widely praised for its handling, particularly the sharp, responsive steering. The car uses a boxer engine.

Eventually in 2000 the car was superseded by the all new 147 which was a far bigger commercial success with its acclaimed styling front end and improved quality, but many enthusiasts feel that it lost a little of the special feel and Alfa Romeo that the 146 (and 145) had.
