If I offered my staff company cars I would make it compulsory to be Alfa, unfortunately I don't because I am too tight.....

I think they've shifted a load of them Andy, they seem to be everywhere. Roll on the 166 replacement, I would pre-order one of them!

Anything on the new spyder?? Love to see that......

I guess it will be a rear wheel drive derivative of a re-launched Crossfire, hmmm rear wheel drive Spider. Due 2014 as far as know but I reckon everything is up in the air regarding new product at the moment...

hmmm Passion, Character and Soul.... it's hard to apply that to a 'marque' as not all marques dare i say have delivered all three in every model (imo) it's like people, we all see individual qualities that another may not 'beauty in the eye of ....' and all that.

Different things switch our buttons i guess i'm trying to say. whilst i like Lambo's they have a soul and a passion, i do not feel they have a character unless we are talking a Muira, because in time it develops a character to me...
The 456 - was it built with Passion in mind..... hmmmm

To my little 911 -I drive her with Passion, therefore i'm passionate about her, she speaks to me so has both Soul and Character, i know her every foible and ability... we know each other!

Certain cars ooze all 3 without trying....

Power, Beauty and Souls = Aston Martin, ones true first love, but so many of them now, they are almost as common as Ferrari's

I think that is quite naff on Aston's every time you turn the engine on. I never go past an Aston dealer and think "wow", never done anything for me, better cars out there for similar money. Saw a Rapide the other day, god that is an ugly thing.

I live in Aston Land , less than 3 miles from the original factory and the present AM works service centre , still without doubt one of the coolest cars out which continue to make my neck stretch everytime i see one , and one of the only breeds left that have a definable grill that denotes what it is from 500yds or more , i prefer the days when you could tell a particular breeds apart straight away , all too many now use the same Jelly mould , including Jaguar , thats why ive become extremely dissappointed with Jags in general, not so much the tech side but the design side has left Jag pretty much in the ( also ran brigade)
