Thanks Paul.  It's a little sad now to look back at the reception the GTV6 got when released, in so much that it was very well received and got a lot of press.  Much more than a new Alfa gets these days.

Didn't we all get excited by the new model, even though the price in Australia meant it was pretty much out of reach for most of us.  Thankfully Alfa depreciation made them affordable within only a few years - by which time there was already a good level of knowledge around about how to fix their weaknesses.

To true Alister, At the time it felt like the end of the beginning. With great things to come But in hindsight it proved to be more  the beginning of the end. Anyway good on Alfa for producing the Giulia GTAM. It will probably one of the last great cars of ICE period
