| Maserati and Alfa are still part of Fiat but if they did break off then they could team up with Rover as they are desperate for a partner..... Just think the Alfa Metro or the Alfa Meastro good bed fellows for the Arna |

It won't happen. Fiat are finally doing well, and they will be doing even better next year with the Idea, Panda, Panda 4x4, New Multipla, etc.
Alfa will probably end up with Ferrari-Maserati. They are starting to share technology (ie engines/transaxles) and are suspiciously being placed next to the two super luxury brands at motorshows. If anything does go horribly wrong, Volkswagen or BMW will probably buy them up. |

| I'd be overjoyed if my 33 was a blandly reliable and had the build quality as my old mk2 Golf. Hasn't the latest Lambo gots loads of german kit under the engine cover? |

But thats why we buy Alfas....They have character.
No-one should ever buy an Alfa expecting it to behave like a VW,BMW or a mondeo etc

| funny thing is that not only do alfa's look better they also have better engines...even though even i must admit that nothing can beat the master minds of the german AMG's and M's...they truly are pure genius...but still excluding those two id say alfa makes one of the toughest, fastest and best motors around |
