Right now Alfa should focus on producing lighter cars first. Their current engine lineup, although not stellar is not as bad as the excess weight of the chassis. I'm just being realistic here because you know RWD and a new engine is not in the cards at all as their wallets are empty. But I did hear about the 159 going to get lighter parts, so there might be some hopes there.
What it needs to have now is a 159 S, just like the Brera. Stiffer suspension, lighter interior bits, lighter wheels, and about 10% more power.
They can focus on the next generation of cars later, but if they can't even do this, then you know for sure all this talk about RWD new Alfa engine is all typical Alfa BS.
I think the 159 is good, but is too consumerish for me. Unlike the 75, despite its shortcomings does have a lot of character to it.
