Cool. Quite a handsome car; the 156 was good looking already and the sporty bits of the 156 only enhance the look. It's almost like the Italian equivalent of the Neon SRT4. The wagon variant is especially cool.

 

[Aphelion]

Hmmm... wagon variant is borderline SZ but I don’t think I can quite give it to the car as a whole. It’s a cool from me.

 

[Snikle]

SZ. Love me some 90s-00s Italian stuff

 

[Cowboy]

Had no idea there was a wagon version until now.

Extra cool

I usually say that Alfa Romeos aren't entirely gorgeous, but gorgeous in their own way. I always thought the 156 GTA was a very cool car. I voted for "Cool." It is not sublime in any sense, but I do think it's a fabulous machine.

Ice cold. Get to see these all the time, as there's an Alfa/Chrysler/Fiat/Jeep/Renault/Volvo dealer service, down the street.

 

[KM964]

SZ. One of my favorite Alfas.

 

[VXR]

Sub zero for me. 85% of the performance of the German options, but way less baggage, cult appeal and subjectively, more successful styling than the Mercedes and Audi of that time.

 

[Rallywagon]

I want to like, especially the wagon, but... wrong wheel drive really kills what would otherwise have been high cool, low SZ. Now, it's just a high meeh.

 

[TenEightyOne]

Meh. Should be cool but it revived the ghosts of legendary Alfa unreliability and dodgy build. On top of that the looks haven't aged well (imo).

 

[ZGBox]

I'm totally biased about this one, sorry.
SZ
(Busso V6 ftw)

 

[Neddo]

Far cooler than Giulia QV. SZ

 

[LivingWithGames]

One of my favourite Alfa Romeos, so damn sexy.

 

[Eunos_Cosmo]

Every day that goes by is another day when the 156 looks better. I cant think of a car in this segment from this period that has aged better. Perfect proportions & mass, wonderful details - a true masterpiece of design. I reserve subzero for more special stuff, so this gets a cool.

I bet you, 25-30 years from now, it'll be a real classic and a collectors' item as well. They won't be cheap.
