I have to say that I didn`t appreciate Mr. Coupe`s description of my car as `a wanky ugly Alfa`!.

She comes with a tuned 2.0 direct-injection, variable valve timing engine with 166 b.h.p. `out of the box` & my Veloce version has lowered sports suspension.

The car is amazingly well-built & finished & is absolutely fully-loaded......I have truly been dragged headlong into the 21st.century, as the list of features & equipment is endless......after 2 months of ownership I am still finding new `bells & whistles` every day!.

Obviously the car has a much higher top-end than the Scoupe Turbo, and the acceleration is not noticeably different, though not so frantic & noisy.....although the motor certainly has a purposeful growl!.
Regarding comfort, there is just no comparison at all & I am delighted with my purchase!.

Looks are purely a matter of taste........judge for yourselves :-

Cheers for now,

Who did you sell the scoupe too?

alfa is a nice car dude

Hi Valk.
your Alfa & Scoupe don't even belong to the same planet!!
The Alfa is by far the better car, really one can't even begin to compare

Nice Nick! Looks like we both upgraded from our scoupes. Good luck with tuning your Alfa. I'm trying to figure out what to do first on my Subaru.

(Still love S-Coupes, just to clarify!)

:w00t:

You traitor!!!

LOL.

Good luck with the new motor.

:beer:

That is a very nice looking car.

How does one open the rear doors from the outside? I don't see any door handles.

Or, was I just blinded by the beauty of the car?
