Τaurus is that true that Fiat headquarters are in a worry cause 159's price in France is supposed to be high?

no is not true, the prices are always decided, after market research and discussion with the local dealers.

Oggi ho visto una 159! Non so se era di un qualche concessionario, ma non mi sembrava affatto, era targata regolarmente e c'era una coppia di media età dentro.

Nera 1.9 JTD. L'ho riconosciuta al volo, non sembra poi così grande. Bel culo! Amo i nuovi caratteri delle scritte 159 e della motorizzazione.

P S !

Tra l'altro il proprietario si era mangiato una precedenza a una rotatoria e si stava ritrovando una focus nel sedile del passeggero... Mi son saltate le coronarie! My very first 159 sight che fa un incidente non gliela perdonavo.

Il tutto in provincia di Frosinone.

We should start a 169 topic here - I don't think one exists?

On the topic, I can't find it (but I know it exists on this forum further back in this thread) the torsional rigidity of the Maserati Quattoporte in daNm/rad (I only have kgm/degree)... The 169 should be similar to the QP, correct? How will it compare to the Phaeton?

I can't hide it anymore the new Alfa Romeo high end model will be a 4door coupe' with a length between 4,9 and 5m so it will be smaller than current and next Quattroporte(that will be longer than the current one), it will be a rival of Porsche Panamera and that was the main reason for the decision taken in the few last weeks to make the 2008 alfa flagship on next generations quattroporte platform.

p.s.ofcourse has nothing to do with Phaeton.

current Quattroporte has the same torsional rigidity with 159

3200 KGM/degree alias

31.400 NM/degree alias

180.000 daNM/rad(1.800.000 NM/rad) alias

183.500 KGM/rad
