I remember lusting after an Alfa Sud in the late 1970's. All cars rusted in the 1970's but the yard at the back of the Alfa dealers was full of rotten AlfaSuds only a few years old. We had an Alfa 156 Twin Spark Selespeed luckily as a new company car in 2000 which was great to drive when new but not so good to drive when it was 3 years old out of warranty with lots of expensive faults.
Never lusted after another Alfa after that.
