348BHP Alfa Romeo Brera...
This years new release from AutoDelta is this amazing 348BHP Brera (Q4)... 0-60mph in 5.1sec, top speed 162mph . Wonder how it would fare over here if Alfa releases this model in USA.
enjoy, -Pavan |

I still say that if subaru would've done the whole SVX thing this day and age, the car would look something similar to the Brera.
I mean, look at the SZ;

Fifth Gear drove that thing... and although it looks cool, and has power, I guess the chassis sucks, and the car drives like a 1980s GM land barge. Vague everything.

I would say Alfa made mistake by discontinuing SZ, the same way Subaru did for SVX. If they both reintroduce those models with some more designing upgrades to the present market, they will definitely get recognition. -Pavan. |

They said it's the worst one. It handles like crap and rolls through the turns, it's just way too heavy, or the suspension is just junk. It's pretty, but I think they're best to just 'look at'.

Check the Fifth gear review here "Recommended. Alfa is back at the sharp end of the coupe sector with a car that drives as well as it looks. We like: 1) Great looks 2) General feeling of refinement 3) Agile handling. We don't like: 1) Lack of headroom 2) Tiny rear seats 3) Wind roar from mirrors " Anyway its known thing that people either love/like Alfas or they will just hate them. So, everyone has their own tastes and impression . -Pavan |

Are you kidding? Watch the thing roll all over the place in the fifth gear video.
Also, check out this video of 5th gear: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4DfBnxT1FP0 They absolutely hate the handling of this car. And it's easy to see why. I like Alfas a lot, but I don't really care for that car much. I like the GTVs, 164s, etc. |

I'm so confused it hurts. You're all saying 5th gear, but you're clearly quoting a specific episode of Top Gear. Tiff Needel = 5th Gear. Jeremy Clarkson = Top Gear
Let me add, that in Top Gear May drives the front wheel drive version L4 of the Brera, a vastly inferior car to the V6 AWD model that was too good to be compared to the RX8. Same with Clarkson and the TT, he had the L4 FF model, cause the RX8 is junk. FYI, "Stars" allegedly walked all over an RX8.

I as well think the new Brera is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen.
