[s-cars] The Audi as a Fiat

[Joe Pizzimenti]

Franco,

Wait a couple years.  I'm on the phone weekly with my Maserati guy and he
keeps telling me that the end of 2009 I'll be able to drive one off their
lot.  My only problem is I don't know if I want:

Alfa Brera Spider or the really nice lines of the coupe/fastback model.
The 2.2L, 170HP plant, the 2.4L TDi 300 ft lb or the 3.2L 260HP screamer
Or maybe I want a 159
Or a 146 GTA

Shit, I'm gonna be broke again.  Good times.

:)
