I hope that this is not the decision. What else have I to live for?
I will have to buy a different marque :-(

Maybe an MG/Rover <ROFLOL>

After an Alfa, I couldn't hack the reliability! The latest (don't ask)
thing to go wrong with a mate's MG Rover is the driver's seat had to
be replaced as the old one broke off its frame!! It has been
absolutely comical and sad to compare my reliable Alfa with his truly
awful MG Rover.

In an interview in the newest Autorevue (Austrian) Fiat-Boss Herbert Demel
implied that there WILL be the 8C.

This was a regular issue with the First-generation Audi A3,
so MG Rover must be a "premium" brand ;)

Well I live a little longer in hope then :-)

Other than the blindingly obvious fact that it is not an Alfa?
For a start I would have to leave this group :-(
What else would I find to do with my time?

I would have to change my email address :-)
The wife would have to change her car and her email address.
Then we would have to get rid of the Alfa Team jackets, and with winter
coming on we need the extra warmth :-) We would not get the lovely letters
from AROC etc., so there wouldn't be any mail except bills :-(

I don't look good in a flat-cap.

It is bad enough that I have had to get rid of the Yamaha FZR &
I know that you all think that I am far too old, but my ego just could not
take the stress of owning any car named after a dog.
