Ingo ◊ 2008-11-12 19:33	@robi: it's always the same thing along the whole movie-history: in ancient movies, especially Western, the bad guy had a black hat. Now he has a black car.

ggj ◊ 2009-02-01 22:46	Definately sounded like a V6. I'd say this is a 159 3.2 V6 in 'TI'-trim level by the look of the rims. Very nice car!

In the quarry, right after the police's car is falling and crosses the track, we briefly see two white cars (or so covered in dust that they are uniformly white). A second after, they are black again (or with much less dust)." IMDB are nearly right - the Alfa very briefly becomes a completely silver one (not a dust or reflection effect) and then black again. The Aston is also pale in that shot but it is a lighting effect as black areas are visible. Both cars are much cleaner immediately afterwards.

Robi ◊ 2015-02-11 11:26	Originally, three Alfas were to chase Bond in the opening scene, as some making of material shows. Here are some other Alfa shots:
shlc647 ◊ 2016-02-13 19:03	I have always thought these look pretty cool. Are they still around in Europe?
Sandie ◊ 2016-02-13 19:07	No longer made (since 2011) but plenty still on the road.
AleX_DJ ◊ 2016-02-13 19:16	Sandie wrote No longer made (since 2011) but plenty still on the road. In particular the estates are very common, at least in German countries /vehicles_make-Alfa+Romeo_model-159+Sportwagon.html
S 415 GT ◊ 2016-02-13 19:27	Good looking car. Especially for the mid 2000s, where almost every car had a boring design.
AleX_DJ ◊ 2016-02-13 19:33	Yes definitely good looking. More safe and comfortable than its predecessors, although not always as dynamic as them, expecially with the smallest petrol engines, in particular due to the weigth increase (it was the same for the 159-derived Brera and Spider).

Gryphus One ◊ 2017-08-17 04:48	Unfair chase, the Aston would smoke the Alfa Romeo. Instead the bad guys should be using BMW M3 or M5, Audi RS4 or RS6 or Mercedes AMG.
Oliver Wendell ◊ 2019-01-29 04:16	The Alfa 159s are so hot, even if not as hot as its successor, the Giulia. Auction them when fixed and clean when ready.
dsl ◊ 2019-01-29 04:24	My brother-in-law had a 3.2 Ti - he loved it, but only 15-20 mpg and he lightly scuffed a rim on a kerb which cracked it and sent a splinter into the tyre which was wrecked. Cost £650 to replace and took 4 weeks to get a new tyre from Italy. So he sold it on fairly quickly.
