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.

Clearly you have never owned one, driven one for any length of time or understand them.
Funny you mention it is awful looking when I get comments on the car DAILY by anyone and everyone. Engineering, sure there are some bad points to the car...JUST like any car for that matter. Once you work on them for any period of time it becomes a breeze.

Design wise, seems to me most people think it is a very nice looking design and TIMELESS!! 164 owners and others!

Not sure your rant here? This car is plain for an Alfa but not plain by any means. What is so plain about it? I have never seen much of anything that looks like it?
What is your interpretation of a good looking car?



try driving a 164 QV 12V or 24V or a Q4 and then get back with us on this comment.

I always change peoples minds about the car when I take them for a drive.

I say too bad you don't like them. Your missing out on some fun. You must be another one of those FWD 164 haters.

There are a lot of ALFA's I do not prefer either. But there are a lot I do,.164 is one of them. But could care less why others like them a certain model or not.
