But even with the men and women over 50 will Alfa Romeo with the almost five-metre-long limousine 169 (see drawing) from 2009 points. A bargain is also of the 169 not: It is only from 40,000 euros.

And thanks to a Power Boost button in the Ducati Corse brings it even to 170 hp and 330 Newton metres. Thus, the small 147 then of course properly.
