The Alfa Romeo 159, Type 939, is a large family car in the compact executive segment that Alfa Romeo built from 2004 to 2011 as a four-door saloon and a five-door estate. It was introduced at the 2005 Geneva Motor Show to replace the 156 and used the GM and Fiat Premium platform shared with the Brera and Spider. Giorgetto Giugiaro designed it with the Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, drawing on his 2002 Brera Concept. It placed third in the 2006 European Car of the Year awards, but the platform was originally conceived for a larger segment and left the car heavy. The 159 was never sold in the United States, and production ended in November 2011 after 247,661 cars.
