Alfa Romeo 159
Encyclopedia : A : AL : ALF : Alfa Romeo 159
The Alfa Romeo 159 is a mid-size sedan produced by the Italian manufacturer Alfa Romeo since 2005.
The 159, the replacement for the hugely successful Alfa Romeo 156, was introduced in production form at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show. The Giugiaro-designed sedan uses the GM/Fiat Premium platform, shared with the Brera, Spyder, and Kamal. The 159 will be available with either front or all-wheel drive. In 2007, Alfa Romeo will release a GTA variant with a 4.2 L 450 - 500 HP Maserati V8 engine.
Stylistically, the 159 is designed to share features with the Maserati Quattroporte introduced in the same year.
A Sportswagon variant was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show in 2006.
