I could have not said that better myself. I have been without my 164S since January, and I really miss that car. We replaced it with a Saab 9-3, and while it does everything well, it does not come anywhere close to the 164 in character, performance, sound, and presence. The Pininfarina design is a sublime piece of Italian art. You are always reminded that you were driving an Italian car, far from the generic masses populating the road.
