I read somewhere that they're thinking later this year or sometime next year. Unless I'm recalling the info incorrectly. I've never had one, but ever since seeing them in Europe I'd love one. They look very nice, and as some of my favorite TV show hosts say, "You're not a true petrol head til you've owned an Alfa."

I used to own a 156 in the UK and I loved it. Always wanted to get another Alfa since then but was sad to learn they were not available in North America.
They will never be the most reliable and they used to have a reputation of rusting away quickly but in my opinion they drive like to other normally priced car.......

Hello Brian. LOL Yes, I have a dual exhaust. A few of us on here have actually gotten them made custom. If you use the 'search' for ' dual exhaust', you'll find a few threads on the subject. If you're curious about anything, let us now man.

Thanks for the compliments man. I couldn't really tell you what kind of performance gains I'm looking at, but it does seem to breathe better. Not to mention the sound. Enjoy the modding. Keep us posted on what you do. Always enjoy some good pics.

I have to grin to myself everytime I look at my Koup. It was drizzling a bit today, but it's been like that for the past three weeks, so since I've been waiting long enough I just went ahead and got it buffed and waxed.
It looks nice hope you dont have to deal with kia for any issuses because they fu##ing suck bought mine in april 2011 and have had a few problems and questions and complaints and kia wont do sh#t about anything i have even gone to all other dealers in my area and the tell me to go somewhere else it seems like the plan for the looks of the car and the engine was designed right but whoever kia is letting actually build these fortes are dumber than f#ck (CREASE THIS KIA).

Thank you. Sorry to hear about your issues though. Fortunately I haven't had any of the issues others have had with their Fortes. I also live in FL, so I don't think I'll ever find out if it'll crease. Wait, so you've had issues with the car itself, or because of aftermarket parts affecting it? If it's just issues with the quality of the car itself I don't see how or why none of the dealers will try and resolve them. Take it over their heads if you can't find anyone to help. That's their job, and the car is brand new....
