Alfa Romeos are stylish things, and the brand possesses a somewhat exotic image among mass market manufacturers. Perhaps it’s the Italian heritage, or the usually sexy design of its cars, but many of us do have a craving for these Alfas, even if our wallets disapprove. And to further cement its high fashion image, Alfa has collaborated with fashion house Italia Independent for a special edition Brera that’s limited to 900 units.
According to the maker of “personal belongings” the Italia Independent concept is “an eye for detail and the continuous search for quality with a distinctive style”. Our detailed eye spots out “titanium” paint, 18-inch turbine-style dark alloys and red brake calipers hiding inside, plus an aluminum fuel cap with the Alfa logo. The cabin is full of carbonfibre, black leather and red stitching, and a smattering of Italia Independent logos. Not sure if this is nicer than the red leather with gunmetal grey trim Brera that you can view at Auto ConneXion showrooms.
The standard Brera with 2.2 JTS engine sold in Malaysia is poor value for money at RM308,888, and it doesn’t need the VW Scirocco (more power, faster, more space) to point that out – Alfa’s own 159 saloon, which shares the coupe’s engine, Selespeed gearbox and nice dash design goes for RM188,888! I prefer the saloon too in terms of driving – it has better ride quality and feels more light footed.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
I like Alfa but as with most car brands here, it’s the franchise holder that screws up the brand.
the best car
for me alfas look greatest in red
alfa brand image in this country is still weak… you can get a 2nd hand alfa at 40% less only after 2 years of ordinary usage..
Sexy yet fierce indeed….but FWD….not as sexy & fierce, Big NO for 300k FWD or even 188k
lovely….alfas are really nice….too bad alfas have high maintenance …
great looking car, love the curves .. but the pricing and second hand value as someone pointed out -.-
Alfas are for drivers (of real cars only) ie enthusiats limited. When you buy an Alfa you dont consider the resale $$$ and the maintenance , prices are much affordable than before.
Try to maintain a street smart beauty chick( SPG) for those who knows what it stands for! i think the Alfas are cheaper to come by.
Love it or Hate it.
the should put it in red, then the quadrifoglio badge on the flanks
Alfa Romeo is orgasm especially the 8C Spider!
too bad none available at Msia/ Sgp…

yeap..i totally agree with this when the first time alfa announced their latest model in msia…rocco or golf gti much more better in terms of value but some of us here sed that dont compare an apple with an orange.
