Answer:
no, they are just GREAT!!
an Alfa can't be compared to any other cars and many magazines say it, they do it but one thing they all agree is that an Alfa has soul, is more than just a car, has something special, it puts a smile on ur face, makes u want to be in it, drive it! Makes You smile just for own it! They have something that others cars don't so when you think a car as a means to take you from A to B, a BMW or merc will do, Audi's n all others but if you want more, enjoy n feel something special then you go for an Alfa and no one can tell you what really is, you will be able to know and you will say the same cos an Alfa Romeo is something you feel!
