You should watch more Clarkson videos on why people buy...or don't buy Alfas.

Point 6 is good though.

Oh, and Leng Kee is saying the 1750 TBi Giulietta will be opened for special order starting in Jun 2012.

 

Oh, did anyone notice Malaysia has also just launched (12 May 2012) the Giulietta. Like SG, it also has just the 1.4 model. Coincidence? Alfa SG/MY AD is linked? Or has Fiat factory something to do with the 2 year delay?

The biggest bummer for local buyers is the lack of paddle shifters for the 1.4 TCT

    Built in the 1980s, Bishan (or Bishan New Town) may not be one of the earliest housing estates in Singapore, but it was the first whose HDB architecture saw a departure from the more brutalist designs of the past and featured more variation in height and design.  Residents are primarily served by Junction 8, which opened in 1993. Now more than 30 years old, it remains the sole mall in the Bishan East area. Driving there? Here’s our quick review of the carpark.  Manoeuvrability: T
