    So you can say that about Kia, but when I see Alpha, I think reliability issues hah.

    Our current Kia is a 3.3ltr 290bhp Sorento, 3 years of ownership and no issues, the engine isnt the greatest sounding but its pretty smooth and definitely powerful, certainly gave my 2.5ltr V6 Alfa 156 a run for its money :thumbsup: But for sound that Alfa V6 is just the greatest.
    Have recently sold the Alfa and bought a Nissan Patrol........4.8ltr SWB makes for some entertainment :D

    Probably the old Alfa’s.
    I owned some of them and I had some minor problems (water pump and alternator). Never had big issues though.
    I heard new models (Giulia, Stelvio, etc) are very reliable and the quality bar was set much higher.

    So is this the Grandfather of the Legend?
    Or the original Legend?
    My fave car when I was growing up, this example of the 3.0 CSL lightweight E9 is currently for sale at 150,000 Euro. If only...

    I started working for BMW in 1971. It's difficult today to adequately express how exciting cars like the CSL, 2002tii and 3.0Si were to drive, both in the context of the times and also in absolute terms. I've driven quite a few BMWs since I moved on to Alfa Romeo in '79, and, generally, I've respected them for their quality and capabilities, but they have not thrilled me and they have none of the road presence that 'your' CSL displays, so resplendent in Taiga, despite its wonky bumper! (A CSL looks rather fine in Inka too . . . and Golf, and Polaris and Chamonix and . . .)
