Is that a coincidence.................
Just 2 weeks befor the scheduled delivery of my GT early October, I got a
call from my dealer that they (the factory) had quality problems with the
colour!!!!!
The "old" Rosso Siena (a dark red metallic) was taken out of the specs and
therefor my car would have to be completely newly planned, resulting in
production end November/early December.
With transport from Italy to Holland and the dealer options to be fitted it
would soon be January befor I would get it.
New colour would be Rosso Radicofani (only Italians can come up with such a
name), more or less identical, yet officially "different"; as I had never
seen the Rosso Siena "live", I had to make up my mind then and now based on
a 2x8cm colour sample which I did.
So a GT Distinctive with Rosso Radicofani on the outside with natural
leather interior, black dash, Bose sound system, 18" wheels, electric &
heated seats, headlight washers, automatic screen whipers, park aid etc etc.
Can't wait.

Hmmm, Alfa really do seem to have their supply problems.

My first Alfa GT ordered was supposed to be silver with Lt Grey / Black
interior. The dealer had three attempts to spec the correct car. Each one
came wrong - wrong wheels, exterior colour, interior spec. The dealer blamed
Alfa, Alf blamed the dealer the whole charade went on for months.

In the end I demanded my deposit back and went to a different franchise.
They managed to get me a GT in Stromboli Grey with Black Alfatex interior
and 17" spokes within a couple of weeks. When I saw it I loved it and bought
it there and then!

Hope the GT they source for you next time is OK - like you say, check it
carefully (mine has a fault - like a ripple - in the rear windscreen which
distorts the rear view. Don't know if this is a common fault, but I'm going
to try and get the glass replaced under warranty when it goes in for its 1st
service.)
