Unless I am much mistaken, this car was built by a Dutch gent who many moons ago detailed the process in his website.

I’d give the Canguro an 8.0 on the Nagari scale. Gotta love that huge curved rear glass.

Could it be Sergio spent a ton of money on Alfas that answer questions nobody asked, rather than updating the Grand Cherokee or launching the Grand Wagoneer?

I’m with you. Throwing a ton of money at a car to make it a lot worse as car just doesn’t make any sense to me.

I guess people think it looks good ... IMO it just screams I am a moron.

I never will understand the stance morons. Lowering a car to the pint where you can’t drive it and the suspension is at a ridiculous angle is cool because....why?

As above, I doubt it ever happened. And less severe Euro standards - how? The only major difference I can think of is that American tests require unrestrained occupant protection via extra airbags, because Americans are too free/stupid to be expected to wear seatbelts.

There was never any evidence for this in the first place. Some journalist claimed it failed catastrophically, yet a few months later it got 98% in the EuroNCAP. FCA have been doing well in crash tests for a long time - the 159 was similarly class leading at its launch - so it seems quite unlikely it was ever a problem.

Nah. The 2 litre cars aren’t made with a manual anywhere in the world, and the Quadrifoglio has sold about 200 in manual form, a tiny fraction. So it’s lack of demand that means no manual. 

What a load of horseshit. You don’t score anything in a crash test because it doesn’t have equipment to help you avoid a crash? Newsflash assholes, none of the cars avoided crashing in any of these tests. They all crashed.

You didn’t say that:

particularly funny is that while they were protesting Alfa’s submission, other teams like Ford were busily planning their own be-winged homologation specials themselves

Honestly, I like that cheat a lot and things like this should be done more often by OEMs. For those of us that have a DD that we want to have fun with, it would be nice to drive to work and then with a few hand tools have the car work better when playing at the track.

That is legitimately and without exaggeration one of the ugliest cars I have ever seen. The mess of lines and proportion, the unnecessary and jarring flares, folds and complications, the wheels for God’s sake...wtf, Honda?

If you think the STI is a “best” car you have issues............

Meanwhile, we europeans are still scratching our head over this site’s obsession with manual, diesel wagons. It’s like if I said to my friends: “while in the US, i drove the tail of the dragon/laguna seca/whatever, in a... wait for it... a four-door F150! the one with the turbo V6! and, guess what, it even came with a…

U.S. driver’s license is invalid in Austria and Hungary

Diluted, perhaps, but that’s also the best looking crossover/small SUV on the market, by a country mile.

Dad had 2 growing up. I don’t remember this one much, but I think it was an early 70s 1600.

This was my high school car. It made many road trips, including the one that took me to college, 400 miles away.
