I have to agree on the 156, and I have a "classic" 155bhp 1999 example
myself. However I disagree about the 166. I think the new nose looks superb,
and have never liked the original. It always looked a bit sad with those
small droopy headlights. The rest of the car has always looked fantastic,
and now it looks as good as it should have from day one.
