FactAlfa built the 90 on the Alfetta's chassis with its rear-mounted transaxle, pitching it between two cars it would soon kill off.
A four-door executive saloon designed by Bertone (under Marc Deschamps) and introduced at the 1984 Turin Motor Show, pitched between the Giulietta (nuova) and the Alfa 6, both of which were soon dropped. It uses the Alfetta's chassis with the rear-mounted transaxle and five engines: two Twin Cam fours (1,779 and 1,962 cc, with twin Dell'Orto carburettors, the 2.0 also available with Bosch Motronic injection and a novel variable valve timing system), two fuel-injected Alfa V6s (1,996 and 2,492 cc; the 2.0 V6 with SPICA CEM injection was for Italy, where engines over 2.0 litres paid 38% VAT until 1993) and a 2,393 cc VM Motori turbodiesel. Combined production was 56,428, and the 164 replaced it.

It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
