If you had around 20k to spend on a brand new car by the end of December, what car would get? The car needs to be stylish, practical and look the business.

I've been looking at the Alfa 159. Earlier this year I had the chance to visit Goodwood and was lucky enough to sit in one. From what I saw the Italians seemed to have done it again. With the trademark Alfa styling large interior and sexy looks I loved it. Very Happy

:p

Let me know what you think? From what I heard they're going to be a 3.2 v6 4x4 with 260bhp!!!! What do you reckon!!

Yes that Alfa will come with a 3.2, but it's more in the region of 30k... For 20k i suggest an old style Audi TT 3.2, or you could probably just grab a new 2.0 TT for 22k...

Wouldn't go for one of those AMGs though unless you're prepared to pay huge service bills and fork out on tires and petrol + you can get better for the money + there not as fast as people think, as demonstrated by the previous poster...
