^" Wester cited examples of when, he said, Alfa Romeo lost its way, both before and after Fiat gained control of it in 1987, including rebadged versions of the Nissan Pulsar and Fiat Croma.
"Alfa Romeo had completely lost its DNA back in those days, and it morphed into whoever it partnered with," he said. "With the exception of style, the DNA of Alfa Romeo had not been respected." "
--> Samaa mieltä. AR:n on erottanut muista FIATin aikana ainoastaan tyylistä. Ehkä pilkahduksia wanhoista Alfojen ajo-ominaisuuksista (156:n hyvä) ja moottoreista (Busso) on nähty. Siinä kaikki.

" Mid-sized: A mid-sized sedan will be the first of Alfa's new models and is set to debut in Europe in late 2015 and in the United States in 2016. Originally due in 2014 badged as the Giulia, the four-door sedan possibly will get a different name. It is a successor to the Europe-only 159 sedan discontinued in 2011. Alfa will add a second body style a year after the sedan is launched, most likely a sporty variant with extra luggage space. This model could take inspiration
from the sloping tail of the Mercedes CLS rather than being styled as a traditional wagon like the 159 Sportwagon."
----> Tunnustan. Messerin CLS on edelleen toivelistalla... Miten Alfa vakuuttaa tulevat ostajat 1) laatuvaikutelmalla 2) jälleenmyyntiverkostolla ? Jälkimmäinen ainakin Suomessa on se pahempi "konkelo" ...
