Question Alfa 164

Hi,

I am puzzled by the love and the crave for the Alfa 164 here in the US.
Who has the answer ?
If it is to use the car tho get the engine out I would understand but otherwise I just do not understand.

This car is rated as an awful looking/designed/engineered car in Europe.

I did the advertising launch of the car in Belgium and already then no one was impressed by this very plain automobile. Alfa Romeo had asked that we made a few thousand phone calls to cometitive make owners (more or less ready to change their cars - yeas Polk existed then in Belgium managing car owners files) we managed to get ONE prospect to come and look at the car (with KK $ spent on those phone calls)

Unfortunately a storm destroyed the roof of my storage room and the video tape of this launching has been destroyed. I called the studio who did the recording but they do not have that archive any longer neither.
