Just had my cousin pop round to see me after my op got his own bookies, he has recently bought one of the new Alfa's I've seen the ad on TV & commented on it to SWMBO as being a lovely looking car.The spec on his is great 2.9 V6 Bi Turbo but I could not believe it cost over £60,000! I know he works awfully long hours,but the punters must be losing an awful lot of cash.

Why wouldn't it cost that much? its a 510hp super saloon that sounds better than an M3, looks better too.
Don't think he will be loosing much more money than if he bought an AMG C-class/M3/RS4..
124k on the C5
I like Omegas Senators and all other big 90´s euro saloons.
Previous motors: 3x Rover 600s, Citroën ZX, Volvo 850

I am out of touch with new car prices  being old, only paid £80,000 for my 5 bedroom house, not trying to argue about the price but got to agree it is a lovely sounding & looking car.

No doubt it's a company car.  ;)  The Bookies rarely lose!  :)

The first time I saw the ad I loved the look of it , he usually keeps his cars for about 5 years  have to see how he gets on with it , could be my retirement gift to myself.😉

Then add one to your stable. And don't say you can't afford it, we're sick of that lie.  :P

I assume that's for the basic spec. Top of the range is over £100,000.
Its weird being the same age as old people !

I imagine he thought it more flawed than an M3 but less clinical and sterile.

A case of Italian brio/flair against German pragmatism.

Despite their reputation[deserved or not]for unreliability and build quality issues they do make some beautiful cars.The GTV6 I had back in the early 80's was a glorious thing-far and away better than a Capri.
