(Trying to hide the tear, not having much success).
Way too wonderful to even believe possible. Beautiful is all I can say.

It wouldn't be an Alfa if it had cupholders.

Why do you want cup holders?
When my friends are searching around for somewhere to put their drink i love saying "Alfa Romeo never made a car with cup holders"

Hmmm very secretive. Anthony is
a. Hanging out with Dietrich and Stefan too much.
b. Going back to being Mr. TV.
c. Somehow hooked up with a writing job.
d. Mystery.
You've got to start showing up to people's houses who are selling their GTV in that. After they go into shock they'll give you their car if you give them a ride.

The interior makes one want to weep in their espresso. Gorgeous.

I have the same questions that John has - please let us know what's going on. I'm already on record as saying that I will buy a new Alfa when they return to the U.S.A., and the 159 looks great.
Best regards,

Alfa WILL FAIL MISERABLY in the american market if they don't add the necessary accessories like a cup holder, among other things. They changed the 164 a lot for the north american market, i don't see why they can't do other things. If I'm going to pay that much for a car, I want a built in ****ing cup holder for water i carry rather than it flying all around the cockpit. I don't think it would make it less of an alfa.

Well if you notice on the passenger side there is a little carrying device that you could slide a water bottle into!

Actually, haha, i had said water bottle on the seat and made a hard left on one of the alfa events and it fell into that crevice there and then made a very hard right and the water bottle came out and nailed me in the side. Now, if it was standing up straight in a cup holder, the walls of the holder would protect it.
it's raining here today. 
how soon before i get really lit up by purists..
