Also, I find if the 164 is done properly can handle just as good or better than the last "TRUE" Alfa. ( I like most alfa's not all of them) Some do what they do best. Milano is a difference beast than the 164. The 164 is very much a sports sedan.
Here is the thing, you either get it or you don't. Most who don't have never owned one and really have no experience with the car and its capabilities therefor their comments are somewhat invalid.
I have owned many alfa's and currently a 164. I sold my spider and My milano. The 164 was just way more fun to drive, milano second.
The milano interior did not do it for me.
So to each their own and leave it at that, this will go on and on and there will never be a resolution.

I'm at a real loss for a response, did you read the entire thread? I think I clearly indicated what Pat thought about the Milano and the 164 and that I preferred the 164 because I didn't like heaving my guts up as I rode in or drove a Milano; I'm sure the owner of the Milano wouldn't appreciate it either. Is that clear enough as to what the Milano interior configuration does to me either as a passenger or driver and why I prefer the 164?
I think you're picking an argument where there isn't one to pick, but in case you missed it, that is my personal opinion as just an ordinary person whereas my husband actually had some Alfa credentials and standing; he wrote and published a few automotive books, as I recall, possibly three on Alfa and is cited in many other reputable and authoritative Alfa works worldwide. If you want to argue over his credentials go for it, but it won't be with me; his work does not require defending and has stood the test of time, including his MOTO award winning Weber book.
