159 Alfa Red with Grey Leather

Has anyone got a 159 in Alfa red with grey leather. Not sure if I like the idea but it is one of the options available. Need to see it first.Thanks

Re: 159 Alfa Red with Grey Leather

I am waiting for that same combo - should be taking delivery sometime next week.
I had a 156 in the same combination about 5 years ago and loved it.

I will try and put some pics up when I get it if I can work out how to do it.

Re: 159 Alfa Red with Grey Leather

Thanks for feedback. It's a toss up between a 3.2 awd 2008 red with beige or a 2009 red with grey. The 2009 is going for a good price so I think it makes better sense? (25 700 UK pounds)

Re: 159 Alfa Red with Grey Leather

The seats on Lusso MY 2008 (read 2009) are slightly different from the 2007. The panel under your knees and the one immediately under the headrest are not stitched on the MY2008 and there are subtle changes to the bolsters and padding. Don't know if they feel any different once you are sitting in them, not had chance for a direct comparison.

Mack was asking about grey, not red. Red exterior, grey interior

Yes I realise that JD - that pic was the only one I could find that showed the new style Lusso seats in the MY2008 cars. Sorry if it caused confusion.

Only confused because Mack didn't ask anything about the difference in the style of the seats, just what red/grey looked like!

Never mind, really not an issue
