What's this?

They were around 120 hp and heavy for their size. They tried to appeal to

their idea of what the US wanted, which included AC, electric seats and windows, etc.
I absolutely love Alfas and have owned close to a dozen but they really lost their way in the 80s and 90s. The GTV 6 was a great car. I could regularly beat 944s. The spiders of the era were heavy. The 164 was nice but lost the Alfa heritage.

The good news is I think they are back! Check out the link.
