Listers:
It often has to do with quality, whether if in fabrication, materials, or
both. My very worst car was a late 70's era Alfa Romeo Sprint Veloce. It
ran well for only about two weeks following a shop tuning (the mechanical
fuel injection made it impossible to do at home), and then it turned into a
dog. But far worse was the coachwork, which after 2-3 years turned into a
rust spiderweb -- and then the rubber "U-Joints" started coming apart (no
kidding -- rubber!!!). I couldn't bring myself to sell it to anyone, so I
gave the damned thing away. What a dumper!
For my money, Alfas are junk! Very pretty styling, but less than skin deep.
