Giulietta spotted - gorgeous in the flesh
Just saw my first Giulietta (White) in Wimbledon (South London). Couldn't
stop to examine, but .... gorgeous !!!! As an aside - I don't generally find that white looks good on cars - is the Alfa white an exception ? Dave S :>)) 156 (Proteo Red, not White) |

How much do you reckon they'll retain at the 3-4 year mark? - will try to hold off replacing the 156 until they become affordable. Shame I can't persuade my employers to get me a Giulietta instead of the Focus Eco******** they're handing out these days. -- SteveH |

You'll be waiting a long time for a V6 - they just won't happen in modern cars, as low pressure turbos deliver the same power / torque with significantly better emissions and economy. Obviously, the 1750 Turbo is the one to have - but I'd be more than happy with a 170bhp 1.4 TJet. -- SteveH |

I'd go with the original straight 4, or the 12 valve V6 My choice is the original twin-cam with the variable timing and twin-spark upgrades, as used in the 75/155/164. -- SteveH |
