**italcarguy** · #1 (**permalink**) 11-01-2006, 10:49 PM

Tonight I was introduced to a new friend ..... 2007 Alfa Romeo 159 Q4 Sportwagon loaded with a 3.2 V6, AWD, and 6 Speed.

I'll post more pictures and a drive summary tomorrow. All I can say is this thing is beyond awesome. Next week, I am scheduled to review a few more future Alfa's bound for the US.

I think you forgot to tell everyone that those pictures were taken today in LOS ANGELES, CA - USA

You know how we all keep saying we will believe it when we see it.
Well Believe it!!

I remember thinking there's no way theyre gonna drive that car in the US if its not a car imported into the US normally, well without paying..a lot, picture bringing a Pagani or something.. heh.. FIAT had to pay a lot to do this legally, and if they didnt do it legally I am worried. heh.

PS. Anthony you lucky mug! I think I recognize that Hooper camera too... you coulda at least dropped some Valley peepz..Hints... damn haha jk.

ok. Yea i just saw you're going to be having some access to others in the near future, it sounds like you're going to be having some interesting involvement with the upcoming lineup, which makes sense to me. keep us posted! hah

Are you sure its beyond awesome?

We were told that the engine sounds like a.... Buick V6? And if you wear italian jeans you might spill some espresso and go home crying. Right HenryKrinkle?

Here is the last of my good exterior shots. I'll do a write up later.
