While the glory that was Alfa Romeo<\/a> may be in the past on this side of the Atlantic, there still remains evidence of Italianate greatness on used car<\/a> lots and in new car<\/a> showrooms: stunning sports cars<\/a> of graceful lines (if unreliable electronics), colorful sport utility vehicles<\/a> of modest power and functionality, and a smattering of older sedans \u2014 or, \u201cfamily saloons\u201d \u2014 that, in 2023, might be called classic.<\/p>\n

Take, for example, the Alfa Milano.<\/p>\n

Why is the Alfa Romeo Milano a future classic?<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

Launched on May 17, 1985, the car was born as the Alfa 75 in Italy<\/a>, named to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the company\u2019s founding in Milan<\/a>. Unlike many Alfas of jaw-dropping beauty, the angular, pseudo-boxy Milano wedge, as it was called in America, was primarily about the engine.<\/p>\n

Sold between June 1986 and August 1989, the Milano was initially offered in three trim levels: Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Each level was equipped with more and more goodies, with the Platinum stocked with leather, a sunroof, ABS brakes<\/a>, and a limited-slip differential. All of these models had a 2.5-liter, SOHC version of the Busso V6, producing 154 horsepower. It was nicknamed after its creator, Giuseppe Busso.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n
