Questions from a novice

I'm looking to buy a 156.

Can someone please tell me what JTS stands for ?

Also, what's the difference between Lusso & Veloce & Turismo.

TIA
Ash

Jet Thrust Stoichiometric. It's Alfa's take on direct injection petrol
engines. Designed to be efficient (lean burn) at low revs below 2000rpm and
sporting/responsive above that.

Luxury, sporting and base-spec respectively. Get a brochure or look at the
web site for the details. http://www.alfaromeo.co.uk/

One last question , would you say JTS is generally more desirable than TS ?

Overall yes, as it is more powerful and has better torque throughout, though
it doesn't sound as nice as the TS according to some.

Keep in mind that the JTS engine is a "normal" 4 spark plug engine and not a
8 plug like the TS (=Twin Spark)
Both cylinder blocks are the same, the cylinder heads are different.
Both are 16V(alve)
