Had a play with a new 3.2 Brera yesterday on the way home. They look gorgeous in the flesh, much better than they do in the magazines etc. There's always that special something about the styling of Italian cars, trouble is they always seem to be all show and no go. Now that the Italians seem to have their reliability sorted, hopefully we'll start to see a few more on the roads? What do you guys and gals think?

Look really nice, but shame about the rest of the package. Form over function in my opinion.

Personally, I think the Alfa GT is the better looking and one of the best looking cars on the road.

Styling wise, great looking car.

Reliability wise.

Brera - Dumpy piece of crap, doesn't go fast enough, doesn't handle and doesn't look that good either.

I do like the look of the new 159, but that's built for midgets. Looks fantastic, the wide arches and track give it a real aggressive presence, but there is bugger all headroom in them.

Reading up about it, it has 260ps from that 3.2 and the 0-60 of 6.8secs is not bad, just 5 years too late..... 1630kilos is a lot for a 2 door coupe to lug around, too. The benchmarks are moving alot quicker than Alfa Romeos design team, I reckon.

I saw one one of these the other day with anthracite wheels and it looked good. It was parked up or perhaps broken down? but looks wise

What would you rather be seen in, A 2008 Impreza or an Alfa Brera?

Secretly I have always liked Italian cars for their design flair and "look". In terms of an ownership prospect though, from what I've read (foul or fair) I could not own because of the simple fact they are a reliability nightmare...... unless you are extremely lucky!!

Taking the chance with one would drive me potty........although I do agree with JC that to be a true petrolhead you must own an Alfa at some point in your life.....I am hoping they become more reliable b4 I leave this planet

Mind u after all that, if u think u can prove me wrong....tell me the make and model and I will gladly reconsider..........

Fabioso

saw a Brera really recently and loved the look of them.....but the question is could I live with it on a daily basis......? ermmm may be no...yes....depending on the reliability answer I read here about peoples experience wiv Alfa's......go on....give me your view
