No no, the E90 is boring, the E46 is still a great driving car. I may have worded the above to mislead.
I regard the E46 the last of the best.... I loved mine for the handling but I still feel the 156 offers many more smiles per mile.
Anyway that is another story. I have to agree, Alfa really must get that American thing out and fit a pure Alfa derived V6 or at least something from Maserati (as mentioned above). They will come back, they just have to listen and take a long hard look in the mirror.
Tess do not take offence... When I see a MiTo all I see is another mass produced super mini for the masses that will get hammered around with no real care as to what the badge represents. However there are a handfull of drivers with the MiTo QVs that know what they are driving, the relevance of the badge, the history that comes with it and also the presence on the road not to follow the masses. But it is not just the MiTo, this counts for the Giulietta and 159. That is just my personal thought, I could be wrong. And maybe I speak with far to much passion for the brand.
I really do think Alfa can pull this off, fingers crossed they do.
