To: "'Ed Solstad'" <[email protected]>, [email protected] Date: Friday, July 15, 2011, 4:07 PM I toyed with bringing the Sud into the discussion, but then I'd have to admit to my desire for one ;-) If the right one came along, I'd be in one now. Wrong wheel drive, in my mind, equates to too much power married to fwd. Thus, the 164 is wwd. And you aren't sick - just a little twisted.

But Ben you forget about the Alfasud which also had "wrong wheel drive". With a total production of over 1,000,000 it was one of the most popular Alfas ever. Now perhaps they got the idea from Renault during the time when they were assembling Renault R4's under license at Pomigliano d'Arco. Could some of the R4's dna have morphed over from the former aircraft engine plant to the new Alfasud plant? Nah!! Ciao, Ed (Who is actually making progress on the Dauphine Alfa Romeo replica.

It is sanctioned by the factory, built by Zagato on a Viper chassis with Viper V10 power, and sexy as all get out, but is it an Alfa? http://www.roadandtrack.com/future-cars/first/zagato-alfa-romeo-tz3-stradale We old timers have debated whether 164s are real Alfas, what with wrong wheel drive and built under Fiat tutelage and all. What about the TZ3? Road & Track calls it the first American Alfa. What do you all think?
