your comment is just as silly as your name….
Pls dun degrade the alfa brand with such a lowly copy cat brand.
What? How can you associate such an exotic brand with such a "tidak boleh" car company??

Hate to see their diesel technology is so advance and MALAYSIA is still using 70s diesel fuel.
Wow it really looks gorgeous and sexy. Dream to drive that car.
Will it be sold in Malaysia?I think only singapore got this model.We still get 156 only.
i like the way it looks but somehow, i just cant get past the grill. other than that, its pretty sleek.
SDAI had brought in the 159 and the Brera for homologation. They are likely to be launched here soon…
Thats a good news from SDAI.Btw, i heard that many people say Alfa's recent gearbox which is Selespeed always creates problems and most owners have to change the gearbox. But from the picts here, it seems that for the new 159 the Selespeed gear may not be offered.I guess..
