Mine's on order (since December) and though my dealer here in Australia promised "maybe in 2 weeks", considering I haven't heard of anyone in Europe getting theirs yet, and again - AUSTRALIA - I think it's going to be a while!
So while I wait, was hoping people might post on their 08 159 pickup experiences when they happen...
Hi, Ronin
I did the rounds of the Alfa dealers in Sydney in an attempt to sort out what/when/why/how much etc during Feb and early March. Covered quite a few kilometres and spoke to several reps. You aren't specific about what you've ordered but if it's the Ti, as far as I can see, there is a consensus that about the end of September is the go. And not before!
I was tossing up between ordering a Ti for later in the year and buying a 2.4 JTDm manual - looked at this site and read all I could about performance and economy and decided on the latter - and I saw what I wanted in a showroom a few weeks ago, right colour, right wheels, right configuration, right price. A good deal. Snap!
I hope it doesn't keep you awake at night. I know it can - I've bought houses with less deliberation.
See ya!
