If You Come to the Convention, I'll Give You a Ride!
I was a "non-believer" until I started looking for an Alfa I could use as a daily driver (at least in the summer) while I "worked" on my Duetto's. I didn't like the looks of the Milano's, and at first, was turned off by the FWD of the 164's. After all, how could a FWD car built by Fiat be a true Alfa, especially when I owned two 105's? I also have a Ford Taurus SHO V8 that is larger (it can fit real people in the rear seats) with more power! But what do I drive if I have the chance? My 164Q! It has great power (I think it out accelerates my SHO), and can really corner (only limited by the all season 195-15 tires it currently has)! The handling will be improved substantially with the 225/45-17's I'm about to mount. I have discovered that it really is an "Alfa Romeo" even it was built when owned by Fiat (and GM).
If you come to the convention in Chicago, I'll gladly take you for a ride, (or even better, let you drive) and you may realize what a great car this is after it was introduced 20+ years ago
