[QUOTE=Paul-Simon;53042933]I always despised this type of stereotypism. You'll always find all kinds of people driving all kinds of cars.[/QUOTE] Absolutely. These kinds of stereotypes can end up keeping you away from certain cars/brands because you've heard so much bad about people driving them. Potentially keeping you from buying an otherwise great car.

[QUOTE=BF;53039552]Most Volkswagens look boring and mass-produced, but I do have a soft spot for the Scirocco R of recent model years. Looks like a fun car.

An Australian one at that. Australian engines are found in surprising places. The 3.2 JTS V6s in 00's Alfas were built in Australia by Holden, and the 2.8L turbo V6s in recent Opels were also built by Holden.

[t]https://s1.cdn.autoevolution.com/images/gallery/PEUGEOT-406-Break-2790_8.jpg[/t] I really love its looks for being a wagon. My parents have one, for having driven 300,000 kilometers for sure the engine is still going strong and never let us down yet. We don't know how many kilometers it has actually driven as the speedometer doesn't always work, along with the fact that the electrical systems of the windows have issues. It is really comfortable to drive with however. I'm still taking driving lessons and I took it for a spin with my dad a few months ago. That experience has stuck with me ever since and at this point I still notice how uncomfortable my driving school's Mercedes A180 is.

I'm not saying all peugeot drivers are old and can't get violent for example. I'm saying owning a BMW at this day and age at a certain age is many times a way to cope with, lets say, having a small penis, and once that gets shot down aswell, they get violent. And the weird part is that both of them are known to be absolute blanks in the bed aswell :v:

I hate how that's a thing on modern 'sporty' cars. It's a bit childish. It's why that when I get my Giulietta Veloce, I will be getting it in Alfa Red as opposed to any other colour. It hides the red inserts. As below: [t]https://d3lp4xedbqa8a5.cloudfront.net/imagegen/max/ccr/1023/-/s3/digital-cougar-assets/whichcar/2016/12/16/-1/Alfa-Romeo-Giulietta-Veloce.jpg[/t] [t]http://www.car-shooters.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/CAR_SHOOTERS_ALFA_ROMEO_GIULIETTA_VELOCE_49-990x659.jpg[/t] [editline]16th January 2018[/editline] But yeah Alfa Red is a good colour anyways, although I'd prefer Rosso Competizione. Alfa Red is a bit too flat. Unfortunately I can't get Rosso Competizione on the Giulietta.

[QUOTE=Clovis;53055342]All alfa romeos look like the same car shaped differently. i dont see the appeal to any of them[/QUOTE] Well that's what happens when manufacturers want a common design language for the purpose of a strong brand identity. I won't deny it; the MiTo was clearly inspired by the 8C Competizione, as was the 4C. But if you do pay attention, there are distinct differences between those models and others, such as the Giulia, Giulietta, and late models like the Brera and 159. I wouldn't be so sure to dismiss Alfas if I were you. After all, many motoring journalists will say that you can't call yourself a proper gearhead until you've owned an Alfa. Of course that's not my sole motivation for getting a Giulietta. [editline]16th January 2018[/editline] Besides, there are only three makers where the 'they all look the same' applies: Audi, BMW and Mercedes lmao

BMW is just making angry faces and looking bland in standard editions. I don't get why Alfa is looking like the same car. They look different enough, and the only thing that looks remotely alike each other is the triangle, and even that changes quite a bit. Even the Mito looks pretty good, although not as nice as the rest.

It looks like Mercedes had just the one style, and only changed the wheelbase for each class. They all also have rather similar fascias at the front, and taillights at the rear (same goes for A-Class). So much so that it's not even worth posting the fronts or rears of them.

They aren't even the same platform... I really can't see any resemblance other than the triangle.

And I wasn't even saying that Mercedes look bad either. Sure they all look the same, but I think they all look fantastic. And Mercedes make some properly good engines as well. It's not necessarily a bad thing for all of a maker's cars to look the same, but that doesn't really apply to Alfa because their cars actually do look different. Even the 4C Coupé and Spider have different styling, notably the headlights, the middle section and the exhausts.
