Replacing a Alfa Romeo 159
I currently run an Alfa Romeo 159 2.4JTD , which I love, but is getting long in the tooth. Do Alfa Romeo build anything that will compare with my 159?

The 159 2.4JTD is a hard act to follow (apart from the poor fuel economy). Giuliettas don't do it. Not aware of a forthcoming big new Alfa. Maybe the answer is a Mazda6 Skyactiv for the power and torque (175PS/380Nm) and the steering and handling.

Stunning looks, good handling. Five-star crash test rating. 2.4 JTDM is a great diesel. 200PS 1750 TBi petrol from 2010.

Nimble and agile handling. Spacious cabin is very well made. Huge improvements to refinement and steering from October 2016.
