U.S.-Spec Alfa Romeo 169 Details Emerge

See, it’s not all bad news about bailing out Chrysler. Here’s a good example: we get goodies like the Alfa Romeo 169 sedan. There’s a lot to like here, if you’ve got a penchant for Italian cars. Now I’m not a sedan sort of guy, but I will admit to having a thing for [...]

Alfa Romeo MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde with 170HP

Here is yet another hot Alfa to covet: The MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde with 170HP 1.4-liter turbo engine.

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione Delivered In Holland

I like the Dutch, they seem like really nice people (or at least everyone that I’ve met or worked with so far).
They’re also motorheads, given the right circumstances (think of Arie Luyendyk), and one of the car blogs that I check out regularly is called Autogespot (I have no idea how to say it either).
