Well first off I have been in Italian cars since I was approx 5-6 months old. For those of us who wanted a new Alfa in the 90's the only choices were the Spider and the 164.
Read the US car magazines of that time and their roadtests of the 164. They all absolutely loved the Alfa's "soul" compared to the German and Swede offerings at that time.
The 164 for a sedan is damn good looking. Beautiful nose to tail body crease gently rising front to back, only Pininfarina could have designed her. Compare her to her contemporaries and she looks pretty timeless...the BMW 5 series is pretty blocky in comparison.
Did I mention that the 164 is basically the most technologically advanced and also the fastest Alfa produced? I did say fastest by the way...
