Is the Alfa Romeo Brera a pretty face or a true driver's car?

Of course, the Alfa Romeo Brera, designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro, is a stunning example of automotive design. Beyond the gorgeous exterior, there’s debate among enthusiasts about whether the Alfa Romeo delivers the driving experience you’d expect from an Alfa Romeo. There is much praise for its handling and performance, particularly in V6 form but others say it’s too heavy and not as agile as later Alfas. This discussion concerns the car’s weight distribution, suspension setup, and (if it is available) engine options. The debate of course is further complicated by the fact that the Brera is a grand tourer not a pure sports car. Is it too sporty, or not sporty enough?
