e46f,

The 0-100kmh spec of 7.0sec that you mentioned is not 159GTA that's the 159 3.2 v6. The upcoming 159gta is rumoured to have approx. 400hp powered by either forced induction 3.2v6 or using maserati 4.2 v8 powerplant.
Ah the beauty of online forums at work again... :D . Yes you are right, I stand corrected.
 
:D went to AI glenmarie yesterday..saw the red GTA..WOW!!!!
the italians sure knows how to stir ur emotions,don't they? the car looks fabulous and sounds great too..pity about the price though.
FYI the 156 2.0TS 165bhp is priced at rm210k..comes with standard 17" alloys and the new facelift which looks good IMO.nice,very nice..
but at rm210k i think they'll have a difficult time moving it in good numbers..
pity though as i think alfas are good cars(not as good as bimmers though but then again bimmers are much more expensive).
hope they do well..

ps. now my wife wants the 147 instead of the Mini Cooper!!
 
You know, why all this talk about 156/159 GTAs when what alfa should do is dump the current or coming GTA lump into the GT and make something really special? Hmmm... but then again, the GT is FWD only? Not sure... Alfa lovers?

Or the upcoming Bera Coupe. Now those will be cars to salivate over... I mean, Alfa's great history and all was built upon beautiful racing coupes, not saloons, ya know.

Too bad they pulled outta building the 8CC, that is a truely beautiful concept car, and I would've bought one.
 
the GT already has the GTA lump - 240hp (slightly detuned) 3.2 V6 GT will not be brought into msia, but available on special order. yes, it will be FWD only.

it is rumoured that the 159 GTA will receive the maserati 4.2L V8 powerplant. highly likely since ferrari has now passed maserati on to alfa romeo. the usual italian car manufacturers musical chairs.

Brera will see life as the upcoming replacement to the venerable GTV. the car has already been displayed in europe. we shd see it on sale a bit after the 159.

glad to see so much interest in alfa here. do we have some closet alfisti? ;)

Redd,

I am not a "closet Alfisti" or anything like that! But I am well and truely a motoring enthusiast.

If only the GT were RWD or 4WD... it would be brilliant. It really's very beautiful...


Zoakies,

I don't see how what car(s) I own/drive make a difference to my assesement that you have an infant's mentality and the IQ of a (non-savant) idiot. It's plain to see... even to those without driving licenses.

hi the necc, no nid to get ur panties all in a twist. i wasnt referring to u specifically when i mentioned "closet alfisti". no worries, ur reputation is still safe here. :)

yah 4WD... and then stick on a couple turbos and give it some NOS! who needs a skyline then, eh?! ;)

the driver makes the car, my friend, not the other way around. ive been humbled on track by a Golf2 GTI with 90hp (ok 110hp, it was modded), 14in rims and a maestro behind the wheel. with 80 more ponies, and 10-yrs more technology, i had the better car; but damn he was quicker round the circuit! :)

same GTI was quicker also than an E36 M3, DC2-R and some other "superior" vehicles. maybe i shoulda reminded the Golf driver that his FWD tin can was "theoretically" crap, that he didnt stand a chance against me. then maybe he wouldnt have gone so fast. ;)

Redd,

well... I guess the driver really makes the difference when the difference in dirving ability is vast... hmmm... trust me, you ain't out-running me in your 156!!! Hahaha...

You forget that I like karting- and if there's a form of motorsport where the driver is the most critical factor, well, I don't know about it. So trust me when I say I know I will whoop your ass... Hahahaha!

Well, my opinion's that 4WD is preferable to FWD... so anything but! Please!
