Did Alfa make anything that fitted that criteria?

I can't think of anything from Alfa that's a direct competitor, the
Montreal appeals but I'd have to be completely mad to buy one

Hi all -

The Alfetta (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfa_Romeo_Alfetta) in both
GT and saloon should be considered. I had a 1979 Sprint Veloce that
was quite nice - the same model later got 2.5 and 3.0 V-6 engines
that had good reputations, but mine was the classic DOHC 4
cylinder. It's a Giugiaro design and he signed my owner's
handbook. The car and handbook are back with it's original owner

I was at a local "French & Italian" car show yesterday and saw more
Alfettas together than I have for years - probably 10. Also 5 Facel Vegas!

I talked a bit with a Swiss owner of a Maserati Quattroporte at the
show - a near perfect example bought from eBay.
