jsb88 : I'm european, but French before !
Europe will never be a "country" as the USA, it cannot : there are Italians, Germans, Belgians, Frenchs, English, etc. Too much nationalites ! and that's maybe not a bad think.
We're just the first "economic country" in the world, but not a nation.
I drove a 166 V6 Turbo, it's an extraordinarly car. Very nice and powerfull.
Alfa Romeo will actually come back with a dealer network arround 2005 (Fiat Group).
