AlfaRomeo Brera...topic ufficiale.

-Psycho-acoustics is a big part of modern engine design. If a new car sounds enticing, it's not because it just happened that way through some petrol-fuelled cultural osmosis, like it used to. It will have been engineered, analysed, clinicked, deconstructed, reconstructed. It means that, despite rampant regulations,Alfa's new V6 sounds as good as an Alfa V6 should; deep and burbly at low revs, forte con brio at high revs.

-Now I can discover that the steering is both quicker and meatier than a 159's, thanks to the shorter wheelbase and driver-friendlier valving, but there's a disappointing rubberiness around the straight-ahead.It filters out too much subtle road feel, but at least the steering doesn't suffer from the friction found in too many modern systems. And the faster I go, and the twistier the road, the better the Brera gets as other inputs fill in the gaps

-We want this not to feel as turbulent as the 156 GTA, not as nose-heavy as the 147 GTA. Maybe a taste of Impreza WRX would be good.

-It points keenly, like the V6, and as you accelerate through a fast corner you can feel the outside rear wheel loading. That's usually a sign of a throttle-adjustable balance, and so it proves. This Brera is fluid, agile and accurate, attributes that make up for its lack of ultimate pace.

-You should try a V6, though. It's good when faith is restored
