I want you all guys and gals alike to know. I courted my spouse in a new 164, let her drive it when it was less than a month in my possession with about 1500 on odometer. We now have close to 200k on clock. My daughter drives her own 164 and everytime she leaves the house and my wife watches her drive off she comments that is a good looking car.
My check book mech neighbors with their near new BMW's, Infininti's, etc are still amazed our 164's are approaching 18 years old. The car still turns heads so folks get over it! It is a classic Pininfaria design - quirky yes but still a damn nice Italian sports sedan.
I like air conditioned comfort and the Alfa whine so name another car we have available to us in the USA that offers that. I can cruise at 80 and play games with the rest of the new car market now found on the highway and know I am not part of the herd. Oh by the way my 164 has been mine not the banks for all of it's life. Now do you lease or make payments on your daily driver?
