Finally getting my new Alfa!!!

Memnoch · 11-06-2002, 03:46 AM

My leasing company has finally pulled their finger out and sent me the lease documentation, meaning that I should hopefully have my new Alfa in a couple of weeks. Hallelujah!!

So I have one final question for you all...I know you're probably sick of my indecision

but I've narrowed my colour selection down to two colours - Meteor Grey and Black. Before I make this big decision I'm looking for some final feedback from yous all - grey or black??

Last question...I promise. I have to decide in a few days anyway.

Grey all the way!
Seriously, it gives it that sleek, shiny look that you just can't get with black.

Oh, that's one tough decision. Either way, it'll look awesome. In my opinion, however, the black is just slightly cooler. It just gives an impression of power or prestige or... sportiness that the gray doesn't have. But of course, it's just an opinion, you can take it or leave it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

That's the reason I posted this thread...to get opinions. Lots of them, I hope.

Deff. Black. It goes with any type of suit [img]smile.gif[/img]

And btw. , why did you choose to drive a pre-release version ? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Pre-release? What do you mean?

If you're talking about the facelifted GTV coming out in Europe at the end of next year, we won't get that in OZ till 2006 at the earliest. The Spider and GTV only came out in 1998 here. [img]graemlins/awcrap.gif[/img]

LOL.
Sorry. Think-before-type. Forgot about language specifics. In mine the name of greek letter "Alpha" translates to "Alfa". And with Alpha versions being the pre-release version of software products... you get the picture [img]smile.gif[/img]
Anyway, all this started when my chief-of-loonies's Alfa 145 broke down for the x-th time... and we couldn't resist the temptation anymore [img]smile.gif[/img]

Neuro[/QUOTE]Yep, I've heard the horror stories - a friend of mine has an Alfa Spider (2001 model). I forgot them all when I actually test-drove it.

Post-Fiat takeover quality seems much better, though there are still idiosyncracies (aerial not working, airbag light going on, etc) but I can live with those.
