Alfa Romeo 159 now in the family

Jealousy alert. Yeah, I really like my 9-3 2.0T, but my brother-in-law just ordered his Alfa Romeo 159. All I know so far is: black, red-leather seat inserts, and turbo diesel (how about over 50mpg combined? sound good?). His old ride was a Lancia. I sure wish we had Alfas available on this side of the Atlantic -- I've admired the 159 when I've been in Germany visiting the in-laws -- what a beautiful car. Now if I can just convince him to let me borrow it next year...
So, just out of curiosity, how many SAAB aficionados like the newer Alfas? Of course, the Alfa of today can't be compared to the <= 1995 ones we last saw here.
I still kick myself for not splurging after college and getting that 74 Alfa GTV, a car that definitely kicked ass for its class.
