Hi,
When I did the launching of the car this was in Europe (in Belgium) and when the car was launched the dealers made a face, they did not like it. the consumers did not like it, the car did not sell well. And the gigantic (and costly) "show" put on by Alfa Romeo to put on every European Formula One track a set of 6 or 8 164's in the hand of race drivers, factory guys and well known people was more than a flop as cars crashed one after the other (live on TV ! ! !)
I only have returned to the USA since a year
So my question (since the begining) was (very simple) to know why that car is so much loved here. And I did not want to start any fight or controverse.
My only answer about racing cars and front wheel drive was an answer to someone suggesting that the 164 V6 was turning circles (on a track) around a 75 Milano V6
That's all.
Claude
