Visited my dealer today to get a free Alfa wine opener (an absolutely beautiful one!), and what did I see sitting in the showroom but a white 147 GTA with tan/black leather! I just couldn't stop looking at it! I agree that this is clearly the best color (though I do love the look of my red GTA as well) - it shows off the lines of the car far better than any other color, and really makes the Brembos stand out as well. Congrats!

In Japan, all the 156 GTAs are already sold out, and there are only about 20 147 GTAs left. According to my dealer, after that, it will be at least 2-3 years before another GTA is produced - let's enjoy our rides - looks like at least for the forseeable future, we've got the very best Alfa has to offer...
