That Alfa shows more resemblance to the Porsche 356 which came out in 1948.

I am not an expert but the coefficient (Cd) is the distinguishing feature. The lines of the 356 are very pedestrian compared to the Giulia Sprint Speciale of 1957. I guess Skoda drivers may be style counsel of their own.

well it took ten pages but Adriano , you finally came to your senses !!

Not at all. All car makers make bad cars and good cars. Perhaps it's taken you ten pages to work out that the world is not black and white?

Alfa makes more bad cars than good cars, but the good ones are fantastic. The Alf Giulia QV is an outstanding car for example.

Porsche makes almost no bad cars and the good ones are first class.

Richard is the die hard Alfa or bust fan.

BTW I've always liked Porsches more than Alfas. They've always been better engineered, designed and built cars for purists but I do get the Alfa passion. It's a shame that until very recently, Alfa's passion wasn't met with good engineering and reliability.

Exactly - almost.

Interestingly, the Mecan is one of the best looking SUV's around but that model Cayenne is butt ugly.

Diesel is for heavy vehicles and proper 4WD's.

If you bought a diesel car, you're probably a gullible mug. Sorry. Top Gear was right about diesels.

Mecan...if you really have to toss off in a soft roader SUV....do it right.

ok so alfa was back for a few pages , but now its gone again .

1948. This is design.

Agree but Alfa would be faster around corners.

As if to prove my point, Richard clearly is the Alfa tragic.

Early Alfa 2000 GTV beats Porsche 911 GT ..Alfa handling destroys Porsche on the circuit.

I wouldn't say that. Just a bunch of guys out for a casual race and the Porsche driver let's the Alfa gently drive through on the outside sweep.

Driving skill and casual racing decorum would have played a far greater role.

The only thing destroyed, is your over inflated innuendo.

hahah , the green 911 is blowing blue smoke and still pulling away down the straight , the wog mobile is catching him on brakes , and the driver gets so excited ,when the 911 lets him pass , he just about looses it in the next corner ....def out for a sunday drive ....

^Mazda has the 50/50 thing goin on but Alfa turns balance into art

And the Skoda is a rebadged VW.

Wrong again dude. They're just good cars and they don't break down like Alfas. A client of mine has a four year old Giulietta and he had to have the whole head replaced at a cost of $8,500. Lucky his insurance covered it.

It's simple to admit your'e wrong about Skoda Motorsport Richard, or you can just pretend this is about Skodas.....
I've only owned an Octavia RS that would belt your lumbering 159 around a winding country road for two years. That hardly counts as a tragic.

I'd actually like an Audi RS4 Avant. Not even the Alfa 4C would keep up with that and it fits windsurfers in it.

What's tragic is how you go on and on about Alfas as thought they're Ferraris or Porsches....and then bring up Skodas when you're proven to be flat out wrong, as if there's any relevance.

So funny dude.

Listen to that car. Stuff all torque. What a bomb.

Is there an Alfa Romeo club, with social and track events?
