Meh! Can't even be bothered to post
pictures of them.


Left me with the feeling I needed to look
at something, anything, else.

Re: BMW Cabriolets

Why don't Alfa make a 4 seater convertible a la Audi A4 cabriolet.

Surely it would be the perfect car for Alfa? They're criticised for making cars which are too heavy and not "sporty" enough any more, but everyone agrees that they make beautiful cars.

So why not build a stunning, practical, cruiser of a convertible? Wouldn't it sell like hot cakes?

I'd buy one

A convertable would be heavier than the saloon.

Don't think so although there were a few photochops doing the rounds.

IMO the 156/GT chassis would never be stiff enough for a convertable conversion.
