"An impressive array of Alfa 159’s gave international motoring press a chance to drive the new cars on the road officially for the first time. Journalists waxed lyrical about the Italdesign-Giugiaro and Alfa Romeo Centro Stile designed Alfa 156 successor, stating that it is, “without doubt the best Alfa of all time.” The Alfa 159 is a serious prestige car with 900 million euros worth of investment and 300 project developers being implemented during its 50 months of development time. This is impressive compared to BMW’s average 3 years of development time for their latest models."
"Journalists liked the new range of petrol engines, not only for their sublime performance, but also for the direct steering. The steering, measuring 2.2 turns lock-to-lock, is even more direct and pleasant to that of the Alfa 156. The Alfa 159’s generous tyres, Xenon headlights and powerful brakes guarantee the highest levels of active and preventive safety.
A 'golden future' was predicted by most journalists, especially so as the Alfa 159 will be sold with a three year warranty and a free service deal for the first 120.000 km, with filters and oil included."
