message: * There should be a better photo of the 2003 facelift model. The current angle from which the picture was taken is not so nice (it should be at least taken from a lower position), the car has a publicity sticker on it. It would also be nicer if the photo is taken from the right side of the car (so that the numberplate isn't so visible) and if the spider roof and windows were down.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.81.28.30 (talk) 07:49, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is littered with instances of non-compliance with NPOV - eg, 'in common with most Alfa - Romeo cars, extremely well equipped as standard'; 'Neat detail touches included...', etc, etc. It's fine to objectively describe what the equipment the car came with, etc, but to offer commentary is not encyclopedic. It's not a review, it's an encyclopedia article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.11.72.4 (talk) 10:19, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

message: There is a slight problem, i have found 2 seperate limited editions, both yellow, one with black dash from 1999-2000 , second from 2001-2002 with blue-style dash and limiuted edition plaque,
and the first one is called a millennium, don't know the name of the second one, which is more likely to find on any autoscout and car selling portals YBSOne (talk) 19:35, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

message: Pininfarina production seems to be between 2000-2004, so maybe we need to change the production years 1995-2004, they probably made those to stock and sold until 2006.  -->Typ932 T·C 07:09, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Because this article has had the title "Alfa Romeo GTV & Spider" for so long I wanted to bring a title change to the talk page instead of unilaterally moving it.  Per WP:AMPERSAND, I recommend changing the title to "Alfa Romeo GTV and Spider".  Anyone against this move?  Thanks, 72Dino (talk) 17:39, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: Is this what recently happened on the Alfa Romeo Giulia (952) article? Another editor decided to create 2 separate engine tables, because he (wrongly) reasoned that the Quadrifoglio's engine for the USA was differently tuned: 505 HP vs 510 HP in Europe. The difference was just due to what engineering standard was used: SAE in the USA vs CE in Europe (DIN being a predecessor). Something to consider here too? CtrlXctrlV (talk) 11:23, 29 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: There is no issue here as all sources (owners manuals, brochures, press releases, workshop manuals) state 147kW, so there should be no problem translating it into hp, bhp, CV or PS. Also GTV spider were not exported do USA. YBSOne (talk) 11:35, 29 November 2015 (UTC)

text: Please see enclosed article. Just because Alfa Romeo outsourced the door production in 1995, does not mean they did not have means to produce the doors themselves. According to production records, up to 1995 Alfa Romeo manufactured 111 cars of 916 type, and presented some of them at Paris Motor Show, and sold some of them to customers... without doors?
