What car to get...
Re: What car to get...
If I was in the market for a practical super saloon to deliver on all fronts in addition the Jag I suggested I would think the Alfa Gulia Quadrafogila.... properly quick, 4 doors and Ferrari DNA in the engine!

Problem is, if I tried to order one of them, I'd probably end up getting a pizza delivered.
Re: What car to get...
Not sure I see that as a problem?? fail = pizza, repeat until car arrives....

4 cheese pizza isn't everyone's cup of cappuccino

Re: What car to get...
As someone else said, if you go Brera, it has to be the prodrive one.
My sensible family car is a 1.9TD 159m which is virtually identical to a Brera up to the back of the front doors (and I mean everything - body, wheels, engines, seats, dashboard....)
It's a pretty thing to look at, and a fairly nice place to be (I suspect not holding up to BMW / Merc etc though), but when driving, it's clear that it's a heavy car, and front heavy one at that.
I don't see the Brera being much different, in fact, being shorter, I'd imagine more of the weight is biased over the front wheels, and a bunch more power probably won't help that much either.
I'm not sure it'd be special enough, as an accompaniment to an estate. I mean, just buy a 159 Estate
Also, 4 cheese pizza, that's the way to go. In either food or super saloon variety.

Re: What car to get...
Bear in mind the 4 cheese pizza is a fair whack of cash - even the earliest are mid-40s, there's also the Stelvio 4CP too with the same engine - slightly unhinged that

Re: What car to get...
...and it's an Alfa so it'll drop in value like a stone (hopefully, pens in one for a few years time)
The Stelvio.. Yeah. I don't get it, but then I don't get anything SUV like..

Re: What car to get...
I can do you a good deal on an Alfa GT. Bodywork and interior are in fabulous condition.
As a bonus, you can even fit your own choice of engine

Two negatives make a positive but only in Scotland do two positives make a negative - 'Aye right.'

Hmmmm... don't recall "standard" being one of Dom's criteria
Although I'll admit this particular motor isn't for everyone....
