The only thing letting down the Alfa name in this country is the importer and it's dealer network which is nowhere as good as BMW. When that gets fixed, I'd go back for another.

Alfas are generally beautiful cars, inside and out.

I got kind of tired of the Giuletta during World Cup, though - it seemed every other ad was that one with Uma Thurman ominously tearing down the road in one...not sure if it was shown anywhere else?

EDIT: This commercial (
). I think there is a longer one, and you can probably find it in english as well. Anyway, I always think it's funny when I see US actors hawking products on TV in other countries.
