Alfa 159

Will be out later this year. Base model, the 1.9 JTS has 160bhp. It's a good bit bigger than the 156. Wheelbase increased by 10cm. Note the rear door handles!

Doesn't really look much different to the current 156 imo. Looks like an evolution of the 156. I thought is was to be called the 157 though!

If only they could sort out their reliability issues then I would consider one.

awesome.

look forward to trading my 156 for one of those.... once it's over two years old and has depreciated by 50%

I also thought it was being called the 157.

They have sorted it out with the 156 IMO, but people are still going by their old reputation. As you can see from my sig, I drive one and have never had a problem. My dad has had one since 1998 and he has not had one problem either. I drove a supposedly reliable golf before, and had several problem with it (throttle control, poor quality interior, lights blowing the whole time etc).

Note the rear door handles!

That's disappointing - I thought one of the nicest features was they they were recessed in the 156
