pwnt a V6 Brera yesterday

Golf R soon...
Indeed, so would I! Lovely looking motors, might not be the fastest in the world but they are rare!
Had a lot of exhausts and revved very high for an oil burner ; )
The cnut carved me from a side road and I overtook immediately. He was then right up my chufter. I waited till we got past the known local speed cameras and populated bits and into a series of twisties and opened up. Going into first bend I was dot on the valve change and he was in a way high gear - booted it and nothing happened. By the time he changed down the damage was done - just ended up looking foolish.
Must say, they are very pretty cars, but there are quite a lot of them on the roads these days - I can think of much better ways to spend £30K
S2000; new shape TT 3.2; new Sti; New Evo.
Pretty is nice, but the missus' 500 still gets more looks than anything else on the road at the minute. Breras are getting rather common to be honest.

rubbish, they are not a common car, thats just ridiculous, maybe your area is freakish and you have a few but I have only ever seen 2 on the road since they were launched!
I have an Alfa at the moment, it's hideous.
Hateful car. Alright in a straight line for a 1.6 but i'd rather a clio anyday.
I agree, not sure on the Alfa though!

There were rumours of a GTA version of the Brera powered by a 3.5 litre V6. This engine would be a bored out version of the 3.2 in the Alfa 159. Supposed to have 300 bhp and four wheel drive.
Probably not financial sense to make it sadly! Know a days the diesels are the best selling versions of most cars.
the brera isn't about speed though, its about looking good and that it does very well, not many better looking cars on the road!and people think the V6 clio is heavy...the brera weighs in at a huge 1630kg kerb weight, giving it just 157bhp per tonne (same as the 197), less than a 182/172

Really, I don't like the look myself, but each to his/her own
Simon
i think they are 10x better looking than any clio or megane!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder i guess......

yep I guess
can't stand them myself

But it's still made by Alfa. I thought they were nice cars til i started driving one. It's just an odd feeling of, i don't like this. And the usual Alfa problems to do with electrics etc.
