This one isn't available anymore, its successor is gonna be the alfa 169, which would be launched in 2009, but they replaced it to 2011, saidly enough, i'm still waiting

anybody know the name of the music please? this car is great also, a GT version would be excellent.

go suck balls ; ]

This is by far the best car show in the world !

For me personally the version before the facelifting looked much nicer. But its still an Alfa Romeo ! Please watch also my videos and visit our website. Greetings ! In Alfa Veritas

No cup holder, no sale!

Whats the music called at the beginning?

i love Alfa's. stylistic perfection? i think so. the offset numberplate, the seductive grille that brings your knees to the ground, pretty much where it finishes, the bold lines running down the car, the simple rear end, the heart full of pistons and then to top it off, the interior. honestly, i would rather sit in there, than in any lounge chair or couch.

Yeah, That's true for sure.

As Jeremy Clarkson quoted 'EVERY TIME I SEE SOMEONE GOING THE OTHER WAY IN A MERC, BMW OR AUDI, I JUST WANT TO GET THE WINDOW DOWN AND SHUT AT THEM, YOU BOUGHT THE WRONG CAR!' This is coming from a top class car critic and whose views and opinions are mostly accurate and spot-on! Says it all really!

Lol I agree but a GT version would have been good, anybody know the music at the beginning?

@ahandzhiev no one bought it because its ugly and unreliable.they rather drive their dull volvos lol

Looks total crap :) Sry Jeremy. That interior is just pathetic :(

Anybody know the music at the beginning? please find it. Thanks.

Also, I find the Alfa grille/offset number plate combo creates a beak-like look, which I don't like. I really, really want Alfa to reduce the size of the grille a little and put the number plate back in the middle. The 166's sides are shaped in such a way as to make it look tall and top-heavy, which doesn't help. And the back end is bland, with that too-low rear number plate. Oh, and the 8C is, in basic shape, a less than entirely successful ripoff of the gorgeous Ferrari 275GTB.

The reason that BMW 5ers sell and 166s don't are as follows: BMW, RWD. Alfa, FWD. BMW: straight-6. Alfa: V6. BMW: more and better diesel engines BMW: The 5-series Touring! The E39 BMW 5er did not have Alfa character, but it is very good fun to drive on the limit, it's bombproof reliable, it's beautiful to look at, you'd have to be the pickiest person alive to find major faults with it.

Yeah this is a cool car, I wonder if they made a racing version or gt version of it?

The most beautiful sedan in its class. I would LOVE to have one, but in red.

So does anybody know the name of the music at the beginning or not?

To the morons that didn't understand the comment above: Alfas are excellent cars. As such, it's an excellent deal to buy a used one, because they are reliable, luxurious, and affordable (or certainly a lot more affordable than an equivalent German offering). I'd rather buy a used Saab because I'm a Saab fan (for the same reason a lot of you are Alfa fan boys).

@GVWWVG You obviously didn't understand my comment. All I said was, if Alfas depreciate so much and so fast in value, then it's a more economical move to buy a used one instead. If you buy a used one, it means it has already depreciated in value and, therefore, it costs a lot less. Of course, if you have the extra money to spare, then just buy a new one. I never said Alfas were junk. All I said is that I tend to prefer Saab. And since we live in a democracy, we're free to choose what we like.

@superamerica1981 obvious you know nothing about alfa romeo's they are great and you can drive very long with it (mine is from 1998 and still driving everyday) ive had 6 alfas and they were all great!!!

Does anybody Know what the Music is called at the beginning or where is it from? Would the BBC Know?

So the key is to buy a used Alfa 166. Um... on a second though, I'd rather buy a used Saab.

Anybody know the music at the start? Ive been wondering what the songs called anybody know?
