I figure if and when Alfa brings in a product that I like at a reasonable
price, I might buy one. Or I might if it was rear wheel drive. I also prefer
timing chains, not belts.
In the mean time, I have a dozen 105 / 115 Alfas. 1/3 of those are parts
cars, so I should be able to drive Alfas for the rest of my life.
It is fortunate that Alfa built essentually the same car from 1972
through 1994. Therefore, parts for the 105 / 115 Alfas should be available
for a long time.
If you have an Alfetta, or a 164, parts availablity is already
problematic (Alfetta) or soon will be (164). Parts for the GTV-6 and Milano
may be around a bit longer.

Look, Alfa Romeo is just another global bland...er brand these days. The heart
and soul of the company was gutted from it when Fiat took over and decided to
base Alfas on Fiats and to go to FWD. I mean for Alfa Romeo to go from being a
company that built products that were the best in the world in their day (and
the pre-war Ferrari in prestige, cost, and racing heritage) to being a
re-badged Chrysler product, is quite a fall from grace. Fiat has mismanaged
the company since they bought it - at least the Italian government left Alfa
alone (more or less) when they had the helm.
