Ferrari boss says sedan out of the question

[Revo]

BMW 320d Automatic v Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTD SW manual (I know the match isn't perfect but it's the best I could find), tested by a spanish magazine gives 1516kg for the Bimmer and 1680kg for the Alfa. That difference is pretty big.

Is there such a thing as trustworthy journalist?

The real weight difference between these two is 40 kg, not 160 kg.

And pointless? Well, we are car enthusiasts aren't we?

More like some freaks willing to argue about some figures again and again.

Ok, pointless was bit of harsh. In true ferrer style.

What I meant was that neither of these two models would be my choice from their lineup. Because of 4WD.

Well, I doubt a scale can lie, altough who knows maybe it's the big conspiracy of ze germans...

And by the way, we are in agreement when it comes to choosing models...

Actually, my case isn't much better either, since I am quoting numbers from Italians.

Mine come from Carfolio, so don't blame Italians or Germans in my case

Would North Americans prefer this?

Also, what if they just shorten the platform somehow?

why make alfa's for north americans? that would be a mistake. buy them as they are meant to be, don't pander to others and dilute the brand any more..
alfa has already strayed far enough from the true path
