I don't like the front of the Alfa.

1-Audi (Might be the slowest, but I'm sure has the best quality/driving of all)
2-Volkswagen
3-Alfa

I'll take the Alfa for its weight, rarity, power, and class. It's a damn shame we don't see it (or the other two, for that matter) in North America.

Has to be the Alfa. Gotta love the looks, great mags and body kit especially. The other two, just not good enough in the looks department. The Germans probaly have better build quality and will probaly break down alot less though. Lets put it this way, the Germans are normal cars made special, the Alfa is a special car made, well, specialer...

Should be the Alfa, the Audi does not appeal to me and the R32, based on the Golf IV, is no longer available.

This was the choice and the way I framed my answer indicated that none of three is high on my wants list.

i will probably take the Alfa for the looks, V6 and relative exclusivity.
R32 is probably my second choice, the Audi doesnt appeal that much to me. i think it needs a facelift to a more aggressive stance.
as for eggnog's comment, i thought the R32 is available in North America ! I had the pleasure of sitting in one at the 2004 washington auto show.
i can still feel those seats hugging me !!

I drived just the GTA, but I'm sure that it's hard to be more fast!
The Alfa have also more appeal
