Estoy recopilando información sobre Alfa Romeo 159, ya que estoy con el proyecto de hacer una maqueta del mismo, en particular el que usó J.M. Fangio. En particular busco datos sobre cotas, detalles y características técnicas. Desde ya muchas gracias por la información que puedan enviarme.

Wouldn't the convertible be the Brera Spyder? -- stewacide 04:32, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Indeed, there will be no convertible 159. Well, you never know with those Italians of course. ;-)
[edit] Compact executive car?
I would be careful about using this term, it is a catchphrase used by some journalists rather than an established term. I'd say it's just a large family car - the reason is that every automaker tries to be "premium", so the term carries some POV. Nothing THAT important, but worth considering.

- Actually, I'm an automotive journalist, and I've never heard about the term "compact executive". If that is a term used by american journalists, I believe it makes no sense to describe a car that is not available in North America. However, "premium" is well established among most automotive publications in Europe. --Pc13 07:39, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
- Not North American, British (WhatCar and 4Car regularly give away awards for "best compact executives" and refer to BMW 3er and similar vehicles so in their reviews). Premium is well-established of course, it's just a vague term and it does carry some POV, as it is favorable to be viewed as "premium". Therefore I think that "large family car" would be a more neutral term.
- On an unrelated note, I've just seen the Autobianchi A112 in your "created articles" section - I was wondering whether you would interested in collaborating to further expand and improve the article on this interesting car. I think there are enough sources to try to create a GA or even FA out of it. Let me know on my or the car's talk page! Thanks! Bravada, talk - 11:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
