1989 Alfa Romeo Spider Quadrifoglio Convertible 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars
Glendale, Arizona, United States
|
This roadster is in very good condition for a 14 yr. old vehicle. Low mileage and clean. Good tires with 70% wear left. As most of these Alfa roadster's , there is a slight synchromesh issue in 2nd gear, and only when down shifting at high speed, or upon aggressive starts. Engine and transmission are strong and stable. Original owner sold in 2004 to 2nd owner, and I purchased in 2012. Car is dependable and reliable, is in very good running condition with very good brakes. This Alfa is 14 yrs old, but drives as a 47,800 mile car should. It is not perfect and I don't claim it to be. The paint is good but does have a few chips as mentioned above. Glass is all good. Hardtop is in good condition, with a minor paint scratch and small chip. Soft top is not original to the car and is vinyl....it is virtually new. Car starts every time and always with very few cranks of the engine. As with all Alfa's, they need to be run and used at least monthly which I do. This keeps the battery charged and mechanicals functioning as they should. I'm finding it harder to make time for weekend excursions, in addition to running out of space in my warehouse as I have several other vehicles stored that I must keep up. Therefore I am parting with this very nice car. In my opinion, the purchaser will not be disappointed with the overall condition, looks, performance or safety of this car. |

Mazda engineers urging execs for more RWD models
Wed, 02 Oct 2013According to Edmunds, Mazda engineers are pressuring the company to create more rear-wheel-drive models, in an effort to better differentiate itself from its rivals. This push is reportedly coming from middle and senior engineers within the company, and these folks at Mazda believe this rear-drive strategy would allow the automaker to produce more distinctive, fun to drive cars. Mazda discontinued the rear-drive (and rotary-engined) RX-8 a few years ago, leaving the MX-5 Miata as the company's only RWD offering.
As enthusiasts, we're fully on board with Mazda offering more rear-drive cars, but unsurprisingly, the company's top management isn't exactly keen on the idea - and with good reason. First and foremost, the cost associated with redesigning fresh architecture for new models would be very high, and considering the fact that Mazda hasn't exactly been raking in the dough lately, an expensive new venture like this doesn't make a whole lot of sense. What's more, Mazda's latest front-drive models - the Mazda3, Mazda6 and CX-5 - have been very well-received, and are helping the company gain sales momentum.
But that doesn't mean there aren't other options. Edmunds reminds us that Mazda is already partnering with Alfa Romeo on the next-generation Miata, and if this collaboration is successful, perhaps the relationship could bear additional fruit. After all, Alfa Romeo is said to be working on returning to its rear-wheel-drive roots, so Mazda's engineers might be able to make a case for more RWD goodness after all.
Chrysler appoints new heads of Alfa Romeo and Ram
Mon, 18 Aug 2014Chrysler has announced to two key appointments to its senior leadership, both of them taking immediate effect. First up is Reid Bigland, who has been named head of the Alfa Romeo brand for North America. Bigland has served until now as head of the Ram Truck brand, a portfolio he now hands over to Robert Hegbloom, who had served until now as its director.
As a result of the appointments, both Bigland and Hegbloom will take up seats on Chrysler's NAFTA Leadership Team, and Bigland will also join the Fiat Chrysler Group Executive Council - the highest decision-making body in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire.
As per Sergio Marchionne's leadership style, Bigland will continue to serve in two major capacities, maintaining his role as president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Other senior executives who hold multiple key portfolios include Harald Wester (who serves as the group's Chief Technology Officer and also overseas Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Abarth), Olivier Francois (group Chief Marketing Officer and head of the Fiat brand) and Michael Manley (head of the Asia-Pacific region and the Jeep brand).
