For today we must have an Alfa 156.
It was available in brown, manual, diesel and wagon versions and quite possibly all of these at once.
Here’s a brown Sportwagon, not diesel and not manual - it has the dreaded Selespeed automated manual.
The 156 was introduced as a four door in 1997 and won Car of the Year in 1998. The Sportwagon arrived in 2000. The 156 was made with a wide range of petrol and diesel engines from a 1.6 Twin Spark with 120 hp up to a 3.2V6 with 250 bhp. Many however were fitted with diesels, usually a 1.9 four and less often with a 2.4 five. The 2.4 was the first common rail diesel used in a car.
In the event that the 3.2 was insufficient for your needs Autodelta did a high performance model with initially 328 hp from a 3.8 litre variant of the V6 and later 400 hp once a supercharger had been added.

156 sold really well in Finland. It probably out sold all earlier and later models combined. Now they are getting pretty cheap.

I always thought these were insanely ugly. I think JC disagrees, is it just me?

But how? Yeah maybe the GTA pictured has a little flair. But tell me this isn’t the saddest thing you’ve ever seen. It looks sat on. The weird holes around the shield look like trim is missing. The shield itself looks like an anus. The little baby wheels look dumb.
The only thing sadder is the pre-facelift 166. Maybe it’s a European thing.
