help! Brera or GT???
Hi - For my next car, I'm torn between the GT and the Brera. Leaning towards the Brera 3.2 or 2.2....just because the GT is a bit older and I heard a new version was coing along next year.
Any thoughts/advice very welcome!
Thanks
Rick

**Cough** GT **Cough**
I think the GT is far better looking, also its got a REAL Alfa V6 in it! Not a plastic looking GM (?) unit like the Brera
TBH though, I think its a decision you have to make my friend based on your heart, I'm sure you will hear strong arguments for both cars on this site

Ignore these deluded fools, they are comparing
the undersides of the two cars. (  )
You'll be need a Brera, in black with 18" wheels.

Re: help! Brera or GT???
Went through all this a couple of weeks ago, search the threads.
Got to be the Brera, better built, better looking, and will have better residuals, and I think you will find it a better drive.

Re: help! Brera or GT???
Depends mate - driving a car should be like making love to a beautiful woman, is she pretty too look at while in the driving seat so to speak, does she make all the right noises when you give her a thorough thrashing .
You want to be able to look back over your shoulder when you have just finished giving her a good seeing too, looking at your ride getting that wry smile that, this baby is mine  the GT is slender and elegant and defiantly an eye and crowd pleaser….The Brera is also a pretty thing as well, sadly she is a little chubby and has a bigger arse than her older sister…
Tough call. Personally like Brickman – sensible option is to shag them both.
I am sure this has been absolutely no help whatsoever

If I didn't have kids - the Brera would be on the list that and a Spider...
But as I do and won't be shot of them for a few more years I do need to have a car that can practably fit 2 kids
