    Just got a brochure on the new Alfa 159 last week, had a little flick through and was delighted to see an Italian car with some real torque for about £20k. After seeing it at Goodwood I thought I’d like to see what a 3.2 V6 family saloon drove like, the styling is slick and after sitting in it at Goodwood I found acres of space inside despite it looking so much smaller on the outside, a new dash has been put in, I especially like the way it wrapped around the driver, quite like a pilots cockpit.

    Can't wait to test drive one in December. Has anyone else seen it yet?

    Saw a black one with black leather interior at a dealer today :D
    It was there to be investigated by invitation so I went to have a look.

    Looks like a great car indeed! Exterior is really nice! But do you really think it looks smaller? In comparasion to the 156 it's huge!
    Have to get used to the new dash, cockpit feeling is indeed a bit stronger than in the previous model but it's also a bit less stylisch IMO
    The new key and start-button is a nice gimmick for Alfa.
    Backseat space is not really enormous to say the least...
    Overal I think it's a really nice car that can hopefully compete succesfully to the German brands. Quality has improved again.
    I could have got a test-drive but was a bit too late and didn't have time enough to do that.
    Engines should be exellent as if I been told, despite them being not really developed by AR.
    Good change this will be my next car.

    Good luck in the battle against the German opponents Alfa!
