 | | The latest Alfa to herald a supposed turnaround for the company's fortunes is this juicy-looking Brera, styled by the living god of automotive design (and train design, and furniture design, and even pasta design, I seem to remember), Giorgetto Giugiaro. |
 | | The Brera is without question a sexy, desirable-looking car, just as an Alfa should be (although I seem to remember that in the early 1990s Zagato made a car called the Hyena, based on the Lancia Integrale, that looked strikingly similar, with the same curved, high waist, pert, stubby rump and long bonnet). |
 | | The most expensive Brera comes with a V6 and four-wheel drive, and I bet that's great fun, but the diesel I tried was a bit of a power tease: I'd floor the pedal, wait for the turbo to pull itself together, the moment would pass, and then the power would arrive. |
