volvo looks like a solid lady dressed in satins (eva green from casino royale)

alfa looks like a bitch with black skin tight leathers (kate beckinsale from underworld)

the should take two diesel cars, or two petrol, if the fuel consumption matters... faggots

[posro1988]

@azdilizan you should compare that t5 with alfa's v6..

Alfa 1.8T 200bhp 0-100kmh in 7.9secs

Volvo V50T5 230bhp 0-100kmh in 7.1secs

Both looks stunning in red and volvo's handling is compareable to the Alfa's

As if the chose the volvo. How boring. Who cares if the 159 burns more, it is truly stunning in every way.
