Incredible

How’s this for forbidden fruit? Hands down, this is the hottest 156 we have ever laid eyes on. The GTA wheels (probably love or hate to most, but definitely love to us), the stance, the color (our favorite at the moment), even the factory option Zender body kit (normally anathema to us)— we love it all.

If there was ever a manufacturer to not make us care about “wrong wheel drive,” it’s Alfa.

Want! I also want a 166. I hear they suck to drive, but boy are they exotic and sexy.

- however way they drive (esp. post-fiat), we can always count on them to at least look and sound good, right?
  
  almost, anyway.

they are actually not too bad to drive, handling is good, quite comfortable, nothing really dodgy. the sound of the v6 is pure magic. even ownership is relatively painless for an old alfa, provided you avoid the selespeed transmission.

there are no other wheels to choose. You simply can not have an Alfa if you don’t spec these wheels at the sporty end of the range.
The versions on the 147 GTA look as if they’ve had enough and they’re busting out of the tyres. Very cool.

I love it! It’s got just a touch of Jag X-type in the beltline and trunk… I dig it!
