perfect!
notice the first thing a drunkard says is 'i'm not drunk!!'
back to the gt,
it is a beautiful car in my opinion. alfa's give me the perception of 'attainable exotic'. case in point, i pass by lamborghini kuala lumpur in sunway near the kesas/summit flyover quite regularly on route to meetings and the place is just full of alfa's! for a moment, you could've been misled to think its alfa kuala lumpur. but if passion dictates a man's chosen career, there you have it-these guys are alfa drivers. maybe its the company cars, then again showing the car of choice for portraying a certain image.
there was a lone sti there though, sacrilege!!
alfa also released the gt with a diesel engine. can you believe that? i saw it myself in uk and even spoke to the driver. he says, 'the romance ends when you start your engine, so i tend to crank the radio way up beforehand'. at least you know he's a petrolhead, forgive the pun.
nonetheless, i believe alfa should have stayed true to its rwd philosophy as apparent in the 75 and the fabolous sz-of which there is a porn star looking italian dude with black curly hair near where i used to live in bristol who had one and would rev the nuts off that glorious v6 at every opportunity, bar perhaps reversing out of parking. you could hear the alfa growl from far on that. too bad its just LHD and only a handful ever made.
alfa has everything going for it to just release a 156 with the gta engine but rear wheel drive. that'd give bmw more than a shiver. equally, imagine the gt, 147, 167 all with 3.2L V6 and rear wheel drive. just imagine... the sound, the emotion.
