simply awesome, id take it over an M3 anyyyday, so much more exotic and striking lookin, unlike M3 which just looks like a 3 series and a lil beefed up. M3 still looks really cool but just not that same, tottally different look. Its like Porsche compared to Ferrari, Porsche can look cool, but when next to a Ferrari looks borin. Beauty and the Beast meet in the new Alfa Brera.

I have got moderately different info as far as the more powerful versions are concerned...the basic v6, the 3.2l is according to the latest info from Italy said to put out 280hp whereas the 3.6l version will develop 320hp.The range-topping v8 should be good for roughly 420hp.

God the Brera is so beautiful! Are they actually producing them now? Last I heard (long time ago) was that it wasn't likely. As a concept car it was one of my favorites though

Well, they are, but not in all the aspects...Reliability and built quality seems to be an issue..

Not any more. In fact these issues began to disappear after the launch of the 156 when Alfa entered a new era. Wait and see the new line of Alfa models... Starting from the magnificent 157 which is about to be shown in about a month.

From what I've heard they really are about to disappear...Nonetheless, as for the current line-up there is still plenty to improve.

Where did you hear that? they have a slew of products being introduced in the next few years, including a supercar (8c cCompetizone) not to mention the 157 and the brera.
