  3. I wasn't correcting you, I was adding what appeared to be an omission.
    I didn't know they stopped making it.

    That would appear to be the case.

    Yea, I know.
    As petrolcan says, they did in the old model, but now they've shifted
    it up to the A5. And although it's a full-size car on the outside, the
    rear seats are bolt upright and with very little legroom due to the
    roof housing, so it seems a complete waste of time bothering with them

    Oooh, now that one I _didn't_ know about, although I had looked for
    such a beast on their website(s)...

    not surprisingly, it seems, as it's almost impossible to just get the
    bloody information you need. Once you know it's there it can be found,
    but it ain't easy. It's right up there with the TT in terms of
    pricing, mind, but definitely one to have a look at. Ta.

  9. "With 260BHP the 3.2 JTS V6 is Alfa's most powerful engine, and is
    paired with the Q4 permanent four wheel drive".

    Unless you're about to turn this into an AWD vs 4WD argument.

    Nope, I had totally forgotten (assuming I ever knew) about the Q4 in the
    Spider.

    Oh aye, and I don't think we're likely to actually buy one, but they
    do look nice.

    I didn't really think so, close up, TBH. Just a bit oversized, and
    having an open cabin big enough for four seats just makes it look like
    a boat.

    It's a shame convertible is one of the requirements really - never
    seen the point in them myself.

    Obviously that might be because sunlight is my Kryptonite.
