Re: Where art thou, Romeo?
Must say I agree with Picard to an extent.
I am new to the Alfa car (buying a 159 V6) but always wanted one but not really sure why (is V6 noise and looks enough?) as going back many years they had a reputation for being rust buckets. That has changed over the last few years but it takes more than that to get the car back to being a premium brand. Problems with the car (electrics, material fit etc) are always being highlighted as being inferior to the competition which is now soon keen and brand advertising plays such an important part which Alfa don't do enough of or if they do they don't advertise the car benefits but just hope buyers want the badge alone.
I have my fingers crossed that my 159 works well and all reports would suggest that but I have reduced my HP deal from 3 to 2 years just in case and take the depreciaiation risk out and that is all down to my underlying fear (shared with the non-Alfa public) that it is not a premium brand, which it well may be now but the general car public does not know.
