GTP Cool Wall: 1990-1995 Alfa Romeo 33 Sportwagon

[Dennisch]

That's not what I meant. I meant that it doesn't really have any redeeming qualities and nothing about it persuades me to say it's cool or uncool.

Swing and a miss! You, not me.

Hey batta batta...

 

[Leonidae@MFT]

Alfa Romeo? Check. Oddball motor selection? Check. Multiple drivetrains? Check. Available as a wagon? Check. Manual? Check. Very high cool, nearly sub zero. Low performance drops the rating a bit but still one of the coolest 80's Italian cars out there.

Don't really care for this car and doesn't look that bad overall

meh.

 

[AlvaroF]

It's an Alfa, automatic cool. There's nothing left to say.

 

[CarBastard]

Somehow they hade a recipe for success...and ruined it. It's a wagon, its an Alfa, it should be instant Sub-Zero...but it has a beige-tastic design and no sporty traits at all.

Uncool.

 

[MoLiEG]

Alfa's from the 90's are uncool, but this stands above them all...

Seriously Uncool.

Alfa's from the 90's are uncool

The 156, launched in 1998, disagrees:

As does the 145 Cloverleaf, the 89-91 SZ, the GTV and the 164 Quadrifoglio Verde. I'd probably throw the 155 Silverstone in there too given its BTCC and ITCC success in the mid-90s.

This is the exception to the "Wagons are cool" and "Alfas are cool".

Uncool.

So are most of the downvotes (especially from those who approve of wagons and Alfas individually) based on the way this car looks? Just curious.

I think that too, but I do understand the point,as it was made during a not-so-bright part of Alfa's history. It wasn't that powerful either, but it still did its job very well, and it was very confortable.

Seems that way. I don't mind the looks personally. It's nothing special, but it amuses me when certain people in the thread are calling it "boring" or "ugly" given some of the cars they've praised in the past. Personal taste is a funny thing...

It's an Alfa so which means cool.

 

[MoLiEG]

The 156, launched in 1998, disagrees:

Quite probably the only one from that era that can be spared. Actually, I really, REALLY like the 156...

 

[synchromesh]

The only bad Alfa to ever exist is the Arna.
Unique, distinctive, cool!

the 89-91 SZ​

YUUSSSSS ​

 

[JAHHAJ]

This kind of car is uncool but it's an Alfa so it's meh.

 

[Badasp5.0]

I love Alfas and wagons SUB ZERO

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

It's a very high cool from me! 👍

 

[KM964]

It's an Alfa. It's a wagon. It looks cool.

But the powerplant is not cool. Overall, it's still cool to me...barely. It's looks save it from meh.

I don't understand how some find this car unique. It screams quite the opposite to me. Just because an automaker makes a car you haven't heard of, doesn't mean it's unique. It even looks like Alfa Romeo was trying to be as bland and unremarkable as possible too.
