Wow, that's crazy.

I was looking at F355 GTS's for sale on Ebay and saw one I thought was an automatic. I was like "who the hell ... ?" then I realized it had racing paddle shifters and suddenly was stricken with "oooooohhhh .... aaaaaahhhhhh".

Heh - when we were in the car shopping phase before buying the big blue Super Sube, I had the Alfa Romeo 156 on the list. After some pointed comments from my partner (which suggested that none of the Fiat group's products would be welcome on our household) I was forced to admit that pretty well the only reason it was on the list because of 'Selespeed' push button sequential manual - well, that and the styling.

Mate, you're used to a cr with some interior build quality now, so I wouldn't suggest you go anywhere near the inside of a 156 now. They're made with nice stuff, but none of it fits, and it all kinda drops off after about 300yds. They're real sh**boxes inside. And this is from someone who had a Mk1 Impreza...
