I'm not sure what my cars are running at for the moment, I think between depreciation, repairs and fuel it might be around 20c/m. If an Alfa can beat then clearly I need to change.
Alfa 146? Yeah, it would be cheaper, and DEFINIATELY would have better fuel economy. It would be cheaper to purchase, possibly cheaper parts too (I am not so sure why you think parts are expensive for Euro cars? Aftermarket breaks for my Sienna are only like 5% cheaper than they were for my X5, and X5 was actually breaking good). Now, do you actually know what was Alfa 146?
I am not going to go to fun factor here. I am not sure Camry and fun goes into same page, let alone sentence.
Fun is not required here--if it's fun that's nice, but it's low on my needs.
Are they sold here?

Looks like they haven't been made for 20 years? I see they had 2 door and 4 door variants, looks like FWD with a variety of engine options. Is this correct, 27 mpg?
Link Bit low, don't you think?
Looks a bit funky, like it got kicked in the face by a mule. Still, if it's an economical car, we should look at, eh?
Looks bit funky? Yes, bcs. Camry is epitome of design.
