After careful research, I have discovered that the car in question is NOT an Alfa Romeo, but a recent knock off from China. The spelling of Alpha and Quadrifigil in the ad are intentional to avoid trademark infringement (like the Rolix watches sold on the street). Note that the red carpet shown in the ad is not true Alfa red, but the same as the ChiCom red star. Drivers of this model have reported rashes on their posteriors, due to excessive amounts of formaldehide in the seat material. The high levels of lead in the paint have also caused health problems to many. The engine itself is a knock off of a Yugo 4 cylinder (so there is some Italian connection at least since the Yugo is a knock off of Fiat), but head and block are actually cast iron, with recycled aluminum foil glued to them to give the appearance of a true aluminum alloy engine. The easiest way to verify the Chinese source of this car is to listen to the valves. Instead of going "click, click, click" they go "crick, crick, crick."
