Their new 6 will be as important to them as the new Accord is to Honda. Anxiously awaiting both..!
Hopefully better than the last japanese italian fusion....the Arna - an Alfa Nissan JV which miraculously ended up with japanese styling and alfa reliability.....
Alfasud loosely translated to English means "rusty Alfa".
Thinking of Sport Sedans, GTV6's and 75's, the beautiful song of the Alfa 2.5 and 3.0 V6's was certainly offset by the heartache of the engineering. I give you the SOHC Hemi-head exhaust valve rocker shaft!
Alfa died a little with the introduction of the 164, that of the 164/9000/Thema family. They don't make them like they used to. And then we learn that Fiat finished dead last in the current Power survey.
