Hello, I have read today a car-motor sport edition in which the Alfa 159 got the silver car awarded, as second worst car 2007……it is reported there of various problems, I understand not quite, according to the previous newspaper articles the 159er was always highly praised. I had planned a possible purchase of a good used 2,2JTS, usually it is the standard the Italian in the German ” Fachpresse ” to be torn, but a silver car find I’m going to be a Lancia Thesis 2.0 Softturbo….., I know, you’re going to say a lot about it, but that can’t shock me as Lancisti, the Thesis is a damn good nice car. Since I wanted to keep my Kappa Coupe as a youngtimer and my wife doesn’t give her Lybra SW either, the Alfa 159 would be a little jump over to the Alfistis !! Ciao Fiorello
