beautiful car .... it's been a long time since the last 2door AR coupe

 

hmmm, first they hide the rear door handle, now they hide the rear doors

Yeah beautiful car, but the present 4 dr 156 already looks like a coupe with the hidden door handles

 

Any point in that?

[Super7]

although the 2-door-lookalike 156 4door is pretty enough, i guess some die-hard 2dr fans will still fall in love with the real 2-door lor.... think about the mazda rx8, isit a 2 or 4 door?

[Magfocus]

Hmm...guess you are right. Its REAL..

 

But it looks cool i'd have to admit

[Madarmour]

Looks like more rearward sitting position for the driver, with better weight distribution. Formula for better handling!

[Magfocus]

Yes, it looks like the driver would have to sit pretty far back..

 

The basic proportions look the same for both the 4 dr and the coupe

[Super7]

for better weight, have they already located the battery at the rear?... muz get the wifey sit at the back when two go pak-tall..... perfect balance man

[Magfocus]

But i am sure you are heavier than your wife...i hope

[Super7]

hmmm, let me see: i will put two water melons permanently on the rear floor juz to balance it.... and re-locate the 'bottle' for windscreen washer to the boot also...

[Magfocus]

Was J/K

 

Back to the topic, it really does look good

[Super7]

will be nice if it's a hatchback for more flexible usage provided the c-pillar doesn't get too chunky.....

[Magfocus]

I think they have the 147 for that..

 

 

Hence a coupe is the logical model

[Madarmour]

One in front and one behind, how to get hanky panky???

[Magfocus]

Believe me, its possible..

[Madarmour]

Ah........................! You da experienced one!

[Magfocus]

 

Back to topic, how much are the 156s and 147s going for? Have the prices dropped?

[Madarmour]

Eh? You oso pro in this 'siam' technique!

 

OK, back to the topic. The 156 is currently not available for the past few months. Maybe until December. Apparently there's some 'quality control' issue at the Rayong plant and they are currently producing for local consumption only and Italy's not supplying the Asian market anymore. The last batch of 156, the so called uplifted version with sideskirts, were actually chionged from HK. So can't really tell you the 156's price as there's no 156 to sell!

 

As for the 147, the last I know was a shade below $114K for the 2.0L.
