... and it's an Alfa Romeo 159 JTDm 150bhp black with red leather.

Wanted the 210bhp TI version but couldn't get it on the company car scheme. Check out the pics though- awesome.

I love Alfas of all shapes and ages, I was originally looking to buy an old GTV, then I bought the Elise...

The 159 is an amazing looking car, 100x cooler than anything BMW can throw at us!

Beautiful cars just wouldnt buy one.

I like the Alfa, and the TI version even more, i just wouldn't like the idea of owning one! I hear however things are on the up and the dealer network is getting whipped into shape as we speak!

I guess the point is that he wont own it. Broken, bring me another. Probably the way to have an Alfa.

Fantastic looking car!!

New dealer at Colinton Road seems MILES better already than the old Arnold Clarke dual Fiat/Alfa on Gorgie Road.

Been in a few times, and even thought they know I'm leasing from another compnay and not buying from them they've been more than helpful even offering a car for a day to try.

After looking at the usual suspects (A4, 3 series and C-Class) the 159 was better built interior wise than any of them (no, really), was nicer to drive than the A4 and C-Class and better looking than the 3-Series.

You get loads more kit for your cash too, leather as standard, leccy seats etc.
