History on the vehicle;

3 owner vehicle, us being the 4th (currently registered under my wife’s name-it will come with a FREE Appraisal for registration/Tax/Insurance Purposes). Previous owner was a female and owned the car for around 4 years. Local Canadian Car AFAIK. No accidents.

I am a car enthusiast with a tiny car collection of my own, I also deal in used vehicles. This Alfa made its way to me last fall as a trade in towards a “more practical first car for her son”-a Volvo S40 to be exact. I couldn’t say no, since I’ve always lusted after the 164 and this one being an S Model, 5 speed, Red, AND having the RARE Recaro optional interior, it was a done deal, despite all common sense and lack of room. The vehicle spent then spent the rest of the 2 months of winter under a car cover in my driveway (simply no room for it to go anywhere else, all indoor spots were taken, also a huge part of why it is being offered for sale). With spring here, it has been woken up, refreshed and it is ready to go to its next owner.

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans

Fri, 18 Jan 2013

As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:

Alfa Romeo to launch eight new products by 2018, increase sales to 400K units

Tue, 06 May 2014



Alfa Romeo will go back to being the brand people admire, according to CEO Harald Wester.
After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.

Porsche 911 Turbo and Nissan GT-R Nismo star in World's Greatest Drag Race 4

Fri, 26 Sep 2014

We love Motor Trend's annual World's Greatest Drag Race video. Now back for its fourth appearance, the idea of lining some of the world's fastest cars up for a ten-wide, straight-line, full-throttle run is, well... it's pretty freaking badass.
The lineup this year boasts some impressively fast cars to be sure. The group of ten includes the following darlings: Alfa Romeo 4C, BMW i8, BMW M4, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Ford Fiesta ST, Jaguar F-Type R Coupe, Nissan GT-R Nismo, Porsche 911 Turbo S, Subaru WRX STI and, last but not least, the Volkswagen GTI. Give us any one of those for the weekend, and we're happy to take the keys.
It must be said though, that for a publication that draws as much water as Motor Trend does, there are some big cars that we might expect to be here instead. The Lamborghini Huracán or Ferrari 458 Speciale would have added some exotic flare to the list, and the omissions of the Chevy Corvette Stingray (for the second year in a row) and the Dodge Challenger Hellcat are real head-scratchers.
