The Alfa Romeo 164, produced from 1987 to 1998, was a mid-size executive car that marked a significant shift for the Italian automaker. It was the first Alfa Romeo to be built on a platform shared with other Fiat Group brands, specifically the Lancia Thema, Fiat Croma, and Saab 9000, which contributed to its robust and reliable nature. Despite the shared platform, the 164 retained the distinctive Alfa Romeo character with its sporting handling and elegant design. The car was penned by renowned Italian designer Ercole Spada, who gave it a low-slung profile, distinctive sharp edges, and a prominent grille that emphasized its powerful presence. The 164 offered a range of powerful engines, from the 2.0-liter four-cylinder to the iconic 3.0-liter V6, all paired with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The Alfa Romeo 164 was a technological pioneer for its time. Features like four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, and air conditioning were standard, while options included a sunroof, leather upholstery, and a sophisticated Bose Sound System. The 164 was also praised for its spacious interior and comfortable ride, offering a balance of performance and luxury that appealed to discerning drivers. However, it was the driving experience that truly set the 164 apart. The exceptional handling, thanks to its independent suspension and precise steering, combined with the responsive engines, provided a truly engaging and rewarding drive. The 164 proved to be a successful model for Alfa Romeo, contributing to the brand's resurgence in the mid-1990s. While production ended in 1998, the 164 remains a cherished classic among Alfa Romeo enthusiasts, representing a period of technical innovation and stylish design that helped define the brand's identity.
