I just love the lines on the car, so flowing.

Oh so people do actually talk on here? For a while there I thought everyone was blind and no one comments on anything :)

wait till you hear all the crap i had to go through in selling my bro in law's alfa romeo, you'd think twice before even wanting this...

at the moment we are spending about $3400 to get the $6000 worth car back to RWC standard.

beauty is only skin deep apparently is a true case.

Hahaha...

I love how the posts so far seem to emphasise the two extremes of a dichotomy lol

I used to own a new Alfetta GTV manual of 1979.

Looks? It was sex-on-wheels. It turned heads until one man walked into a light pole lol

Resale? Good $$ so long as I didn't keep it too long - and had it "Endrust"-ed

Problems? Oil leaks, exhaust manifold came off in the middle of Crows Nest, broken A/C hose on the M4.

Resale Issues? It took ages to sell the thing - because everyone wanted red or silver. Mine was blue.

I used to own a used Alfa Romeo 164Quadrifogglio manual of 1989.

Problems? Interior plastics kept cracking, rear boot hinge started to poke through the quarter panel wtf, huge torque steer, cornered like a dog until I had a front strut brace fabricated, and then the strut towers started to crack.

Resale? I only lost $2K depreciation over 2 yrs - but I sold at the right time.

This new Pininfarina design I think will be a 'Love-or-Hate' issue.

Me? I looooooove it! I like the mean look at the front where the signature triangle and lights are recessed a bit like the BMW M1 concept.

Buy it? I'd only think of it as a 1 yr old purchase (after depreciation) and only as a 3rd car (which is sheer indulgence) and only if it had zero major faults. I'm past it as far as putting up with Alfa idiosyncrasies any more. I still get repetitive dreams of checking under the GTV for oil leaks after arriving home lol.

BTW how do you pronounce 2uettottanta ?

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
