1233 New Alfa 159

[COLOR=Navy]So you’ve got £19k in your pocket for a new car but don’t know what you want, I asked myself this question when I went to Goodwood last month, then I saw the Alfa Romeo tent and lined up next to the new Brera was the class of car I wanted. The new Alfa Romeo 159, I took a seat inside, loads of space, smooth curves, looked expensive in leather and still something I can take the kids out in, what surprised me most was the huge 3.2 V6 engine compared to the old 2.4 20v.

The Italians seem to have finally cracked the balance between a durable family car and a car that looks luxurious, not something I’ve seen in a car in that price range. :)

What do you think?[/COLOR]
