1991 Alfa Romeo 164/168
QuadrifoglioVerde
The 164 Quadrifoglio
Verde (badged as the 164 QV) was available from 1990-1992 as the top of the
range model. It featured an extended front spoiler, deeper side-skirts and a
deeper rear apron. Inside, the 164 QV featured sculpted sports seats and
mechanically the car featured an up-rated 3.0 12V V6 and adjustable
damper settings.

The story of the 168 in
Hong Kong is unique in Alfa Romeo history, and has a lot to do with the Chinese
belief in the significance of numerology and outright superstition. Even in
modern Hong Kong society, these beliefs continue to thrive, and while not every
Hong Kong resident may personally believe in unlucky numbers, they are almost
universally known by nearly everyone.
As is illustrated by
the 164, in some Asian societies, the relationship between certain groups of
numbers can be highly complex and go unnoticed by most Westerners. In the
simplest terms, for example, the number 4 in Chinese is nearly synonymous with
the word for "death." Thus, different combinations of numbers can
represent different things: some lucky, some prosperous, and, as Alfa Romeo
soon discovered, some which could profoundly affect sales of their cars.
In the Cantonese
dialect, which is prevalent in Hong Kong, 164, when pronounced as a phase,
literally means "the more you go the more you die." This had
immediate and obvious meaning when taken in the context of an automobile.
Alfa's Hong Kong-savvy
sales representatives made an unprecedented move and quickly cabled Fiat
management for permission to substitute the much-maligned 164 emblem with one
now marked 168. The number 8 is perhaps the luckiest in all of Hong Kong as it
is similar to the word for prosperity and wealth.
Therefore, what was
originally one of the worst rear insignias imaginable instantly became one of
the best: 168 means "the more you go the wealthier you'll be."
The Alfa 164 was always
a great sports sedan to drive but the "S" version offers even more
enjoyment. In all ranges the car offers excellent performance and pulls very
strong and without hesitation.
Driving the Alfa is really a
pleasure. There are no signs of mechanical issues and there is no noise in the
drive-line. The clutch is excellent, the transmission shifts very well, the
synchromesh gears are excellent (even at higher speeds) and the car is fitted
with matching set of tires and original wheels. The car steers straight, stops
straight and has excellent brakes. An inspection of the underside of the car is
clean and free from rust and any signs of previous repair or accidents. We
encourage a review of the photos as the old adage "A photo is worth a
thousand words" clearly applies in this instance! All of the electrical
components are fully functional.
The trunk and engine
bay are very clean and consistent with the condition of the car's exterior and
interior quality and the original Alfa insignia mat is in place and in very
good condition. Under the mat are the properly secured spare tire, wheel and
the cars original jack.
We often times receive
questions that go something like: "Does the car really look as good as it
does in the photographs"? The answer in this case is yes. This car is a
very attractive example of the difficult to locate 164 S Alfa Romeo with most desirable 168 badge. Perhaps
most important, this is an opportunity to own a truly unique and original Alfa
168 S that offers great handling, looks and performance at a very attractive
price.
Looking at the market trend for 164's using Hagerty's Valuation tool. If its correct then in the last 2 years 164's have seen a big increase (percent wise) in value.

Notes/Buzz
While interest seems
to have shifted towards later high-performance models, any good 164 is a great
drive. "Good" is the key here.

Chrysler has announced to two key appointments to its senior leadership, both of them taking immediate effect. First up is Reid Bigland, who has been named head of the Alfa Romeo brand for North America. Bigland has served until now as head of the Ram Truck brand, a portfolio he now hands over to Robert Hegbloom, who had served until now as its director. As a result of the appointments, both Bigland and Hegbloom will take up seats on Chrysler's NAFTA Leadership Team, and Bigland will also join the Fiat Chrysler Group Executive Council - the highest decision-making body in the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles empire. As per Sergio Marchionne's leadership style, Bigland will continue to serve in two major capacities, maintaining his role as president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Other senior executives who hold multiple key portfolios include Harald Wester (who serves as the group's Chief Technology Officer and also overseas Alfa Romeo, Maserati and Abarth), Olivier Francois (group Chief Marketing Officer and head of the Fiat brand) and Michael Manley (head of the Asia-Pacific region and the Jeep brand).
The annual Geneva Motor Show presents a prime opportunity for any automaker – European ones especially – to show off new metal. You'd figure that would include the sprawling Fiat Chrysler Automobiles group, but instead, one of Europe's largest automakers will be presenting a series of special-edition hatchbacks for the European market. Yeah, we're as disappointed as you are. First up is the Fiat division itself, which will be showcasing the Vintage '57 edition of the 500 and the Panda K-Way. The former puts an even more retro spin on the already-retro hatchback, with a two-tone pastel blue-and-white exterior, 16-inch white-and-chrome wheels and a tobacco-leather interior. The latter was designed in collaboration with the famous rainwear label, K-Way, and features mix-and-match exterior color combinations, titanium-finish trim and a specially crafted interior. Alfa Romeo will be celebrating the European debut of the 4C Spider we already saw in Detroit. In terms of new debuts, Alfa also has the elegant Collezione edition of the Giuletta and the MiTo Racer edition with gray and brown trim that looks, at first blush at least, much more subtle than the name would convey. Though no longer a major player in the Fiat portfolio, Lancia is showcasing the 30th Anniversary and Elle editions of the Ypsilon – the car that in its own words, "Italian women love more than any other." Jeep is showing the Renegade with new powertrain options, and Abarth has updated its range of 500-based hot hatches, but for something new and exciting, it looks like we'll be passing right by the Fiat section at the Geneva Palexpo this year.

Alfa Romeo revealed today that a special edition of the Giulia sports sedan called "Veloce" will make its debut in Paris. It's only slated for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, but before you start lamenting that the US will once again miss out on a cool Euro-spec sedan, we have some good news: it's nothing special. The Giulia Veloce is just a normal Giulia with an appearance package and a fancy name. It comes with either the 280-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine, which we will get in 276-hosepower trim, or the 210-horsepower diesel four-cylinder. From there, Alfa throws in options like Q4 all-wheel drive, 19-inch 5-hole wheels, a tweaked front bumper, sport seats and steering wheel, rear diffuser and black window trim. That's it. Well that, and one of the Veloces at the show will sport a new color of blue, but it's not clear if that's a package-exclusive color or just another option. Many of these components will be available in the US, including the all-wheel drive, wheels, and, based on the American Alfa website, probably the black window trim. It's just that they won't all come in one package. And even if a few pieces of vehicle flair don't make it here, we're still not going to lose sleep over an appearance package. If you really need to be upset about something, perhaps consider the fact that we probably won't see Giulias on dealer lots until early next year. And that's just our best guess since we don't have an official launch date yet. Now that's something worthy of some frustration. Related Video:
