Alfa Romeo Orazio Satta Study Proposes a BMW 6-Series Gran Coupe and Mercedes CLS Challenger

If you think about it, one of the few marques in Europe that has the dynamics, the name and history to truly compete against the dominant premium carmakers from Germany such as Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, in all categories and on a global scale, is Alfa Romeo. Which is probably why the VW Group has showed such an interest in the firm.

eBay Find: Alfa Romeo 156 Sedan up for Sale in California

As one of the most successful (and dare we say, most beautiful) Alfa Romeo sedans of modern times, the 156 is anything but rare – just as long as you live in Europe because in the States, you have more chances of seeing a Ferrari Enzo on the road than Alfa's compact executive model.

That said, we were surprised to find an Alfa Romeo 156 listed for sale on eBay in Sacramento, California.

Introduced at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show as a replacement for the ill-received 155, the 156 sported a distinctive styling with hidden rear door handles, a dramatic front grille and sweeping profile lines, courtesy of designer Walter de Silva and the Alfa Centro Stile.

New GS Hybrid "Heartbeat" Promo vs Older Alfa Campaign Shows Why Lexus Has it All Wrong

As a concept, placing potential buyers on the passenger seat and having a professional driver take them for a very quick spin around a course to see if they manage to keep their heart rate below 120 beats per minute to prove that that the Lexus GS450h is a dynamic and sporty hybrid model, sounds pretty interesting.

And so while we started out writing about the new Lexus GS 450h promo from advertising agency Saatchi & Saatchi in Milan, Italy, launched earlier this month, we were reminded of an older campaign from Drori Shlomi BBDO, for the market introduction of the Alfa Romeo MiTo in Israel in 2010.
