Interesting!  I have seen advertising for the 159 spread across the back of SMRT buses but I never seen a single Alfa ever in Singapore.  Suspect that's one less...

There are a few. Look in the underground car park in front of parliament, corner of Sth Bridge Road and High St. There's normally a red 159 there.

Probably won't be there much longer given it has to be six years old now.  SG is a bit like UAE in that you can be passed by a couple of lime green Lamborghinis within a minute but never see an Alfa.  Ferraris on the other hand -- Hilton forecourt is littered with Malaysian registered cars.  You'd stand out more in the 159.
