Alfa Romeo |
I am amazed that the Italians could produce such desirable cars when they can not work. All too soon, chuf up the car in front and around the middle of the road in blind corners.
I do not believe the proverb that says the Italian temperament red blood causes a certain type of car. On the contrary - the Italian car inspires a certain type of conduct, which is why the sense of faltering national road is at its lowest level in the wheel of the national product.
I know because I ran an Italian, and all because I drove the new Alfa 147th I love him.
For starters, it's a beautiful brute, full of complex interpenetration. Open the tailgate, for example, compound curves and along its edges shows that its designers have not been compromised by the desire to be gentle with their press-tool suppliers. All topped with a nose inspired by the 6C 2500 Villa d'Este in 1949 (it is said in press materials).
The 147, in effect, replaces the 145 and 146. Two versions will be here in February: 1.6-liter 120 hp with manual gearbox and 150 hp two-liter Selespeed semi-automatic transmission. We do not temper or swamp Dr. Diesel standard 105bhp 1.6, and we are just beginning to have the three-door versions. In mid 2001, will also be able to buy two liters with a standard five-speed "and five-door body, which, as a rival car magazine once said the same, except that there are two additional doors.
We spend the first 1.6-liter, which is quite nice, but not a patch on the two liters. With the big engine has a height of 10 mm and stiffer damping rates, low profile tires and bigger brakes and different.
In many cases this kind of thing only serves to damage the existing car perfectly in line, but here is improved dramatically, and with disastrous consequences for the conduct of decorum.
Two liters of corners much smoother than the 1.6, but no penalty in ride comfort, which is firm but flexible. My only complaint is a bit 'Boom of the road noise at certain speeds. I do not know what those speeds, but I think they were pretty high.
More precisely, two-liter car offers a much better steering feel - very good steering feel, in fact, that is something to celebrate in a time when many cars seem to be the work of the programmers of video games. I know what the treatment could be written on the back of the Italian tax disc, if someone really had one, but I am confident that 147 is even better than the 156 (which is derived in part) through the dangerous curve. But I'm still not entirely convinced Selespeed. Fantasy Formula One is the level is wonderful, and how the engine is automatically "blipped" when changing down is a pleasure. Smooth upshifts are difficult and require entirely new skills, which are now too old to acquire. I can not escape the impression that the paddle-shift so it would be better if you switch to maintain, is an important part of a user interface twixt man 'and the machine.
So I am tempted to wait for the manual two-liter, which will be plugging a car. It looks good, the interior is a bit special, manic engine sputters and goes away to hell with Twisties. The only problem is price.
I tried to search figures Alfa Italian lady public relations. She responded with a response well-known Italian which translates roughly as "go and bring you to a bus." After the painful experience of driving in Italy, can it really be a good idea, so I try to calm down.
