@ljguy300 ; Yes it looks that way, 1521joe the capslock spammer has had an influence, i have tried to put this nut off trolling Alfa uploads , it hasn't worked. I love Alfa romeo and like everyone else should ignore the negative comments from trolls, which i will do from now on...Forza alfa

@alfistii1 lol like i said showing your ignorance brilliantly. LOOK AT ME I HAVE TO USE CAPS IN ORDER TO GET PEOPLE TO PAY ATTENTION, TI SI PICKA STO VOLI DA PUSI KURAC ALI JA UPRAVU SI JA IMAM SIMPATIJU PREMA 5 GODINA STARI DECKI.

@alfistii1 I agree with u but i wouldnt call a fiat punto active an exotic car for some reason

@sandrojanias009 ;Lotus and Alfa romeo have kudos, but Alfa's are mass produced and have a large choice of very stylish cars, the 8C is just a showcase for Alfa to show they are back on top form, Lotus has produced some good cars in recent years, but they are not special enough to stand out from the crowd.. Italian cars even mass produced ones have something exotic about them, also less common than the mundane german offerings, and much more stylish

lotus evora is the best!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111

@ELMACHICO5 ; That is the problem, vw is not going to allow Giugiaro to design a future italian car, only lambo and this is a real shame...

@alfistii1 with Italdesign's Giugiaro VW IS INVINCIBLE

@alfistii1 showing ur ignorance brilliantly

I swear that's May favorite top

@alfistii1 Back to the good old days then, When Giugiaro designed the Mk1 Golf! B¬)

I can't watch this, the music hurts my ears.

I wanna see Hamster standing next to that hideously tall bloke.

The new Italian cars that have been streaming from Italys greats has made VW very worried, the new Alfa, Abarths, Fiats are as well made as the common german offerings, but unlike the dull germanic car the Italian cars have style and character. But now VW have begun to fight back by buying the Italian design houses and the top Italian designers like Walter de silva (Alfa), Luca de meo of Abarth fame, and now ItalDesign looks like Giugiaro will pen the next generation of VW's and Lambo's...

lol james is the slowest man in britain..

@rev154 ; I think Alfa plans to make a come back to the U.S, the canadians won't be too pleased, a large percentage of spam aimed at alfa seems to come from that nation, i thought they only had snow mobiles and trucks out there.

I hope Alfa comes back to the U.S.

@xeong5 really i didnt know that

@julescicle ick. terrible nowadays. stupid volkswagen letting chrysler build their minivan? damn

Once you've owned an Alfa romeo, everything else becomes so humdrum, the non-owner will spew bile about reliability and flaky build well those comments are just not true total claptrap, Alfa's are no less reliable than the humdrum cars, they are just so much better looking, a drivers car built with passion and best of all it's Italian, alfa romeo nothing comes close....forza alfa romeo

The 159 is larger than the 156 it replaced and was mainly designed by Giorgetto Giuigaro, italdesign. The 2.2 jts produces 180bhp, but the car is heavier than the 156 so needs the extra horses, with the new lighter chassis and lighter 1750cc engines you can now have the stylish beauty and power to match, a true Alfa romeo.....

Although the old 2.0ltr Twinspark twincams were gems, it has a fiat block and Alfa's twincam variable valve head (2x sparkplugs per cylinder) output 155bhp non turbo. and hits 60mph in 8.1 seconds so no slouch, but it's best feature is the rasp and howl as it comes on cam this free revving unit will easily spin to 7000rpm. The new 1750cc twincam 235bhp is a worthy successor, forza alfa

@xeong5 ; Correct the V6 block is GM the head is pure alfa, the GM unit was used as a gap filler and now an all alloy Alfa engine is offered in the 159 and Brera, it is a four cylinder 1750cc multiair twincam with an output of up to 235bhp, part of a downsizing programe, smaller engines with larger power output. Fiat have just released a 875cc 2 cylinder twinair petrol engine with an output of 85bhp and returns 70mpg not diesel, can't wait for the new GTA powered Alfa's. Forza Alfa

@mikewells64 The v6 in the car is a GM sourced block.

@1R1SHxSN1P3R They did.

@pancakewafflebacon how bout them v dubs eh?
