The 164 can be considered the first of the 'New Generation' of Alfa Romeo's. The last model to be developed while the marque was still independent (altough it was launched a few months after the purchase of the company by Fiat), and the first "large" front wheel drive Alfa. This model, developed while the marque was still independent, was essential to relaunch Alfa Romeo in the prestige car arena after a conturbated, cash strapped era of the late 70's and early 80's.

It was the last Alfa sedan to be sold in the US market, only the 3.0 L V6 was offered (12V 1991-93, 24V 1994-95). Nevertheless it was very successful in Europe atracting keen drivers who wanted a prestige sporting saloon, but were tired of German offerings such as BMW.
