it sucks and will fall apart the moment it leaves the dealership so its ok that its ugly
I'm angry because I PPI'd an Alfa Romeo Spider yesterday and while it "looked" good (designed by Pinninfarina) the thing was a bigger POS than I had anticipated.

Buy the older one, just make sure it’s one that’s 2012+ so there isn’t a problem with the variators. The 4.7 engines. 4.2’s had more problems.

It's hard to beat the design of the original, but they haven't butchered it as they've done to the Quattroporte. Pretty cool they're also offering this as a full-EV as well.

I inspected a 4C coupe back when they launched, with 8000km on the odo.
There was hairline cracks and bubbles in the carbon tub, visible from the side sills. Quote:

I will let you decide which category/categories I fall under.

I would own an Alfa in certain circumstances...
I've always loved the GTVs and the Giulia Supers... the 1960's ones are fantastic works of art...
I drove a diesel 156 sedan trouble-free through all of Europe once so that was an amazing journey and even though it was a well used (130,000km+) base model rental, which I'm pretty sure Avis Amsterdam gave me as a joke because I kept insisting on a diesel, it drove fantastic... and I think the replacement... the 159 from 07-ish is one of the best looking saloon/estate designs around.
I don't think it's a good idea to have one as your only car tho lol

They're also great value too on the used market, especially if you can find one in rwd spec.

Italian ownership is one of a kind… you get screwed on all ends.
Screwed when you buy it
Screwed when you service it
Screwed when you sell it
Screwed when you miss it
Screwed when you repeat your insanity and buy it again

I am currently on step #2 but I fear #3-#5 so I will likely never sell my Fiat lol. And yes, it doesn't help when resale value is a concept that doesn't exist lol.
