Never understood why Alfa didn't make these cars RWD to be honest. There have been enough boring FWD sedans around the time anyway.

Alfas are such rare cars that to say that every true "petrolhead" has owned Alfa is unfair :)

Top Gear quote: "You are not a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa Romeo.". Preferably this one.

Is the Alfa Romeo dying? I have read that the 159, Brera, Spider and a MiTo is a commercial failure. Alfa sold 200000 cars in 2000, in 2009 Alfa sold only 110000.

I removed it. Unfortunately, none of administrators (including me) did not notice it earlier.
