Alfa Romeo 159 Sportwagon

Alfa Romeo has given its 159 saloon a series of minor updates for the 2010 model year, to keep it refreshed before its replacement arrives

Alfa Romeo has announced two new engines will be introduced to the 159 range, a turbocharged petrol unit and a new 2.0 litre diesel

Just why is it blasphemous to shoehorn a diesel into an Alfa? Are we still stuck with the notion of diesel being dirty, unrefined and taxi-like in character? Will most shy away from the unbefitting aural nature of this beautiful, sexy Italian sedan?

The passionate Italian marque is back with what is more or less a 2010 update of the 159 with an additional cloverleaf on the back. Facelift or not, we still love that drool-inducing sexy body.
