So the Germans are turning to the Italians for design help finally. Maybe they need to outsource design to Pinaferinna.
I'd say the 1 series needs all the help it can get to promote sales in the Italian market. Have a look at the the Alfa Romeo Giulietta that it competes with .... BMW wouldn't stand a chance for my money. http://www.alfaromeo.com.au/default....ticle&ID=21762 |

Alfa Romeo returned to Australia some 12 years ago and while they are still a niche supplier and not as mainsteam as BMW here, I can assure you there interior luxury and styling walks over BMW any day. BMW can only dream of using leather so supple. I purchased the 156 model with Selespeed transmission (like BMW SMG at the time) back in 2001 and kept it for 5 years. Absolutly loved that car. 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. Last edited by Bimmer-Bob; 02-18-2011 at 03:52 AM.. |
