White 159 ti
On my way home i ended up tailing a white 159ti
Found myself doing calculations in my head, trying to figure out how I can afford one...
I am test driving one tomorrow... But a full 100km test drive

Hypothetically, if you had to buy a 159, what would happen to the 4C plans?

Ill dump the Giulietta, buy the 159ti (keep the 156 GTA) and order the 4C next year (while trying to convince Frost to sell me the 2600)

If things at work goes according to plan I will keep ALL the cars...
Giulietta is almost paid off so will make a nice deposit on a 159ti

There were two White 159 TI's at Fiat Alfa HQ in midrand yesterday when i was there. A 1750 and a 3.2.
They are outrageously good looking.
And in my opinion a white 1750 TI is the one to have.

Perreby seriously, that car's performance only starts happening at 3000km and improves all the way to 8000km. I love mine to bits too! Buy one, without even thinking twice. your wife WILL forgive you!

First thing I noticed is the lack of tyre roar in the 159 which is present in the Giulietta...
Down side it the Giulietta sounds much nicer than the 159 1750TBi.
Ian, there is a Rosso Alfa Pastel 159ti with a sunroof, the black mags etc on the dealer floor... Asked them to give me a valuation on my Giulietta.. If I get what I want I will seriously consider swopping the Giulietta for the 159..
It feels and looks far more luxurious than the Giulietta (but to be fair to the Giulietta it is aimed at a different market)..
Its a hard one this... I love the Giulietta to bits. Best car I have ever owned..

That's only because you have never owned a 1750 ti before...

Buy it, and then you will be content knowing that you drive the best looking sedan ever made The attention to detail on the car is actually mind blowing. Everyday you drive it you notice something new about the design of the car.
I must agree with you about the engine sound, it is very disappointing. My GQV had a much nicer exhaust note. I need to find a place that can make me a nice exhaust with downpipe but it must be a completely bolt on system that can be removed at any time.
