No potato pic though. They were parked right next to each other, one was black over silver wheels, like the one pictured, the other was white over black wheels. Gorgeous, gorgeous cars. A few people were checking them out.

The 159 didn't sell though did it?

I love these, I rode in one with a red leather interior and it was excellent. I think if they'd made it cheaper to run it would've sold better here (the diesel has higher co2 and lower economy than most rivals.)
Edit: actually the 8 valve diesel was quite cheap to run. I guess people were just scared away by the badge.

Not very well no. It distanced a good number of Alfa faithful by being mostly GM based. Plus, it was (like all of the cars built on that particular platform) bloody heavy for its size. It was meant to replace the 156, but it was actually sized between the 156 and 166 so is a physically larger car, but was still heavy.
Doesn't stop it being drop-dead gorgeous though...

I saw a 159 wagon a little while ago and posted pics of it last night: http://oppositelock.jalopnik.com/goodnight-oppo…
