The result is just what i expected. 159 really doesn't stand a chance.

BTW welcome KokkenTor.

Second that.

Here is another test where 159 finished after 3 series, Passat, A4, Opel Vectra and Ford Mondeo:

That's a pretty bad result for a brand new car.

Alfa just isn't as strong as it used to be... It shouldnt stand a chance against the germans. It lost every category against the lowly 320i.

The Alfa is quite heavy (1585kg) and weight distribution is front 61%, rear 39%. The car from Munich is lighter (1450kg) and more balanced, front 49%, rear 51%.

61/39 is simply too unbalanced! Even a 5 year old Audi A4 has 58/42 while A6 has 55/45 (depending on the engine and the driveline of course).
