They followed the 156 up with the 147 - a worthy successor and perhaps a more successful car than the 145, as was the 156 with the 155. Then the GT, which has been a success for Alfa.

Is it just me or does "149" sound crap? 156, 159, 147, even 169; they all sound cool, but 149 sounds crap. Maybe the delay is cause they can't think of a good name
