156 - Restyling

The Alfa Romeo 156 is a compact executive car introduced at the 1997 Frankfurt Motor Show as the replacement for the Alfa Romeo 155, originally designed by Walter de Silva at Centro Stile Alfa Romeo. Late 2003 saw the launch of a facelifted 156, with new front and rear fascias designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro. A new top-of-the-line model was added to the line up called TI (Turismo Internazionale) designating a sporty kit: this version was equipped with modified suspension, bigger wheels and leather-trimmed interior.
