@gordon7443 and soundseeker63 My 156 is now ten years old and 109k miles young. Know what, it still works and is still a joy to drive. I have owned 60 cars in 40 years and pretty much every main stream make under the sun. Nothing wrong with Alfas if you look after them.

I own a 96 Infiniti g20 and I love the way it runs I cant complain :) lol

That sr20de pulls nicely :P

[soundseeker63]

@GDWGlos Funny thing he never tells you is that the rover and the honda are actually the same car under the skin.

Personally I think the rover is the nicer looking of the two, but each to their own.

Alfas always have been built to look nice rather than to last.

It's scary to think how by chance, the few people in the world who do not like the 156 have commented on this video.

I think the Alfa is hideous.

@gordon7443 lol I checked, the Alfa is indeed dead, checked the Rover too and she still going :D

@raVen670

yes your right and as this video was done in 1998 the alpha would have been in a scrap yard many years ago.

[raVen670]

Alfa looks like horse shit though...
