	Tuning Linx - Alfa Romeo 159
		Destined to become the new benchmark for sporting saloons, the latest creation from Alfa Romeo has an important mission: to replace a successful car (the 156) of which over 680 thousand units were produced.
		The fruit of Alfa's long years of experience in the field of prestige sporting saloons, the Alfa 159 marks the birth of a new generation of cars.
		In particular, the 'Alfa 159' project uses innovative design methods, and an international team has managed (without stooping to compromise) to combine performance with hitherto seemingly irreconcilable goals - the utmost driving pleasure, high performance and distinctive style - with the very best performance in terms of safety, comfort and sturdiness.

	2006 Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon
		The Alfa 159 Sportwagon combines this winning feature with a luggage compartment that is a 'designed space' which meets a variety of requirements, whether it is used for leisure time or for business.
		Like the saloon, the Alfa 159 Sportwagon with the powerful 3.2 V6 Q4 engine also proposes Q4 permanent four-wheel drive, with three differentials (the Torsen C self-locking central differential manages the drive torque, splitting it 57% to the rear wheel and 43% to the front wheels).
		The torsional rigidity of the Alfa 159 Sportwagon's bodyshell is unrivalled, and the merit goes to both the new 'premium' floorpan, the same used on the saloon, which is built with high performance materials, multiply sheet metal and laser welding, and to the numerous changes the Alfa Romeo engineers introduced to the bodyshell architecture.

	Tuning Linx - Alfa Romeo 159
		The 159 proves it is a genuine Alfa Romeo above all in terms of road-holding and safety.
		The design and features of the exterior are typical of an Alfa Romeo saloon, but also in terms of on-board comfort and well-being, the 159 has nothing to fear from the competition and offers the very best currently available on the market.
		Lastly, spaciousness, which on the 159 is what you would expect to find on a genuine family saloon: its generous exterior has enabled the interior spaces to be ideally distributed.

		That is its fortune, because to drive an Alfa is to enter a world defined by values of aesthetics, engagement with the driving process, aural treats from eager engines, and a flurry of form for its own sake which may or may not add to pure function (which, on its own, is a bit German).
		Alfa Romeo's recently installed CEO is a German, Karl-Heinz Kalbfell, who has spent most of his working life with BMW and latterly its Rolls-Royce division.
		This ultimate 159 has 260bhp but four-wheel drive to transfer it to the road, nominally 57 per cent of it to the back wheels, 43 per cent to the front, but alterable as grip conditions dictate.

		This new 159 range will be followed in quick succession by the Alfa Brera and the Alfa Spider, both due by the end of April.
		For this review I am giving over more of my limited space to the future of Alfa Romeo in the UK because it is important, when buying a car from some manufactures, that the head rules the heart.
		And it will be shortly followed by the sexy new Alfa Spider, which will definitely encourage customers to buy with their heart although, in the Spider's case, it will be easy for their head to agree.

	Alfa Romeo 159
		The Alfa 159 is both a natural progression of the styling motifs that produced such acclaim for its processor, the Alfa 156, and it is also very much its own design and shape.
		Like its predecessor, the Alfa 159 is blessed with not just a superb overall shape, but also countless exquisite details to catch the eye and engage the mind.
		Designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro in collaboration with the Alfa Romeo Styling Centre, the essential, sober and clean lines of the Alfa 159 are underlined by superb materials: quality fabrics, precious fine grain leather, aluminium that is cool to the touch and exquisite craftsmanship with the appeal of artisan handcrafted materials.

		It's built on the platform that Alfa was to share with Saab under the Fiat-GM co-operation agreement, but with Saab's exit from the project the platform is now unique to Alfa Romeo.
		Further GM influence is seen in the petrol engine range, which uses General Motors' blocks and Alfa Romeo's own cylinder heads with direct injection and continuously-variable inlet and exhaust cam timing.
		One of the strongest reasons for buying a 159 may be the way it looks: an assertive, Giugiaro-penned evolution of the 156 theme with a pronounced waistline ridge, tougher-looking wheelarches and a front like that of the Brera concept car (itself about to enter production).
