There's Penny One, There's Penny Two...

Why count them? Because I'm going to need every one I can save if I want to afford one of these babies:

Just ten days before the brand-new Alfa Romeo 159 makes it's hugely anticipated international debut at the 75th Geneva International Motor Show, we provide the closest look yet as to how the Giugiaro-designed sports sedan will appear with this photoshop enhanced spyshot.

And why, do you ask, do I even care? Because:

The Alfa 159 is going to be a genuine world beater, with the car fully engineered for export to North America. Its US ambitions are visually given away by its increased dimensions, larger door mirrors and raised roof height, all requirements of the demanding American market. The Stateside debut will most likely occur in 2007, when the automatic gearbox versions of the Alfa Spider will also be introduced.

No, I don't want a Spider. I got one of those.

Oh be quiet. Olivia won't mind if she goes to college a few years later. It'll build character. Yeah, that's it...

Well, if things hold up, she'll be a model by that time and can pay her own way into college and all.

Therefore, you've got a green-light on it, though I'll be saving for one of the random kit cars I keep finding...
