Anyone know if there are performance chips available for them yet?

Re: Just Bought A 159
Wonderful car, even if when I tried it, I found that the engine was not so nice than the previous Twin Sparks. And there will be an huge difference with your V6.
But for the rest, the 159 is wonderful, the handling is excellent. Good choice ! Post pics when you'll receive it. Which 159 ? Impression, Distinctive or Selective (if there are the same versions in Australia) ? Which colors ?

What colours? What colour is Alfa Romeo? Alfa RED of course. Intertior is black (of course). He's some pics I got from the web: Gorgeous from any angle. He's a pic of my current car:

Re: Just Bought A 159
Of course red ! I agree !! I had two Alfa (a 147 and a 156 in Red Alfa for the first and Red Proteo metallic for the second and also for a 155 we had).
But another combination of coulor which is not bad is black interior leather red. Wonderful car btw this 159.

Re: Just Bought A 159
A couple more photos on the road
Have driven around 1,300 klms so far. Driving impression so far. There is a willingness in the engine that I am not game to explore yet (still running in). Quite a drifferent feel to my 156 V6 and I am still learning the car. Although the car is bigger you get the feeling of being cocooned in the driving position, perhaps this is accentuated by the insulation as the car seems much quieter than the 156 (both a plus and a negative for an Alfisti). It is a true Alfa though as it loves corners and inspires much confidence in this area. It will be no doubt a great mountain car for high speed bends. Seats (leather) a more comfortable than the 156 and more supportive too.

Re: Just Bought A 159
2008 : Alfa Romeo 8C
end of 2008 : Alfa 159 and 159 SportWagon, Brera and Spider. Then, probably the 169 and 149, but nothing official for these two models
