Default I am really going to regret this...

... but somehow, I just don't seem to care!

I'm just waiting to hear the delivery date on this:






























Alfa Romeo 159 2.0 JDTm Turismo Internazionale in Stromboli Grey with black leather

Good car, gorgeous, and it's just, lovely. Though an Alfa should be petrol However, enjoy it!

I really wanted to love the 1750TBi but... its just insanity itself on fuel (less than 30mpg on a run!), the BIK value is crazy being a petrol and, well, overall it just didnt seem to make any sense

Does sound really nice for a 4cyl turbo though

For a company car you'd be daft not to go for a Dr Diesel these days

Yeah, that's why I went for the Honda Civic 2.2 Diesel - didn't have an Alfa option. Any my paygrade isn't high enough for an audi or bmw!

Had they not brought out the 2.0 I'd have been forced to go for something else I think... the 2.4 5-pot diesel would hav been a distant option but even on that, the BIK is ridiculous

I had narrowed my choice down to this or the Audi TT but chose the Alfa as its something I just had to do!
