THE 156 has unquestionable presence with a prominent Alfa-badged grille dominating the front end and a flowing shape reminiscent of a two-door coupe with its hidden rear doorhandles. Styled by the Alfa Romeo Style Centre, the 156 approximates the Audi A4 in size and has a respectable drag co-efficient of 0.31. To maintain a distinctive appearance, Alfa Romeo located the front number plate in an offset position.
