I agree! We already discuss about this... |

That's not my choice, I was agreeing for not repeating "Alfa" as you made first. But some others said that the Alfa name was part of the model name. Cf the comments on these pages: /vehicle_59244-Alfa-Romeo-Alfa-75-1985.html /vehicle_55775-Alfa-Romeo-Alfa-33-1988.html /vehicle_15137-Alfa-Romeo-Alfa-33-1990.html /vehicle_19633-Alfa-Romeo-Alfa-90-1984.html If we change this one, we have to rename other 75 & 33 (I can do it directly in the database, it is not a problem, it is just that I already had to do that change few times...) -- Last edit: 2006-11-29 17:37:36 |

My opinion (again .gif ";)") ) on this topic, 'Alfa Romeo' is the manufacturing company or trade mark but is not used as part of the make and model name. 'Alfa 75' is the car make and model. As are 'Alfa 147', 'Alfa 159', 'Alfa Brera' and so on..... It is not correct to call a model 'Alfa Romeo 75' or even 'Alfa Romeo Alfa 75'. 'Romeo' is only ever used when referring to the company name or trade-mark. |

Now that's a new suggestion, renaming the make  It may sound logical, but the badge on the car mentions "Alfa Romeo" even if they refer to the car as "Alfa [number]" And with cars that do not have a number model name (i.e. older models), what was used? (e.g. for the Guiletta, etc.) "Alfa" can be see like a prefix when the model name is used without the make, like Renault's "R" for number-models, or Tatra's "T", as mentionned somewhere else too. -- Last edit: 2006-11-29 18:00:54 |

I look now to my 1991 Alfa Romeo range brochure (italian edition) and there is no something like "Alfa 33" or "Alfa 75", only numbers as the models names (plus some additional words like Sport Wagon, but it isn't important here) and "Alfa Romeo" is the make e.g. "The new Alfa Romeo Sport Wagon is the new vehicle for leisure time and a dynamic lifestyle." -- Last edit: 2006-11-29 18:33:53 |

From what I can find the use of Alfa + modelnumber was used for a few years in the middle of the eighties. Modelyears 1984-86, after that it´s only the numbers. A few samples from the net: 1984 http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B25291.jpg http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B25294.jpg 1985 http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B25302.jpg http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B25299.jpg 1987 http://mclellansautomotive.com/photos/B25318.jpg |

If there's one thing I've learned about car companies is don't expect them to be consistant.  They change things in brochures and advertising if it sounds better. Also on the car badging if it looks better they will change it for that model.No, they continue to call them Alfa + modelnumber (or model name) today, and all the publicity I have for my 147 refers to 'Alfa 147'. 'Alfa Romeo' is only mentioned as the company, brand or trade-mark. -- Last edit: 2006-11-29 19:05:39 |

Yep, they´ll do about anything to pull our legs If only the automotive history would have been a quiet place built on solid facts.... |

I agree let's change it! No let's change them all! I am already a long time annoyed by the wrong model name for the Alfa's. The least we can do is make a proper poll for it, so we can vote and see what it will be!! |

True but that is not a coincedence. Often brochures where made when only the prototype was ready. So when the real car came out they had a few things changed to it. So the brochure showed something else as the car that could be bought. And maybe now that is not a problem anymore because printing and photoshopping is easier then it was 30 years ago. But it sure was like that with a lot of brochures in the past. Also some makes often use different parts from different manufactures on the same cars of the same model (or as you like construction year). It is just a question of what is in stock that day. I sometimes really wunder if manufactures are ever aware of this. Some technical parts may give cars different specifications. You can think about parts as fuel pumps, caburators or turbo's from different suppliers used now and then on the same cars. |

Alfa Romeo 75 Der Name ist Alfa Romeo 75. Statt 'Alfa Romeo' hat offensichtlich die Werbeabteilung damals in den Prospekten das kuerzere und moderner klingende 'Alfa' versucht. In der Autoliteratur ist nichts zu finden ueber eine Bezeichnung 'Alfa Romeo Alfa75'. 75 stand fuer das 75 Jahre Alfa Romeo Jubilaeum. |
