Dear Alfa – I was wrong
So I’ll admit, I was one of those people who mocked the Alfa brand when it was reintroduced here in the United States. Well guess what? I was wrong.
To expand upon what I said in the video – this car was fun to drive. But if it was just that, you’d probably say “there are a ton of cars like that”. But the Alfa is also comfortable, and incredibly good looking inside and out. Some of the best lines on a car I’ve seen in years. Seriously.
One other point – sometimes we joke about how a car reflects it’s nationality. German cars are very precise, Americans love their muscle cars and big trucks. The Alfa is a reflection of Italian design at it’s best.
