How is it Seriously Uncool? Do people on here only like JDM cars? I'm getting that feeling.

It's cool. It's an Alfa and it's sexy.

No, it's not reliable but if reliability were a factory in cool-ness, then the early 1990's Toyota Camry would be the coolest car in the known universe...and...it...is...not.

Have you guys seriously ever driven one? As far as I understand 159/Brera cars are very reliable compared to previous gen such as 156/147.
This generation started using timing chain and Alfa finally reduced the troublesome Selespeed gearbox.

I rented Brera for few days here and I love the car!
A bit too heavy but the V6 is strong enough.
And the rareness is adding the cool factor.

The only thing stopped me from buying is non availability of 3rd party garage here in Dubai and the main dealer sucks.
