I think you should get a Fiat

I know, but I love all italian cars, but there my two favourite car makers, been tempted by the new Bravo Sport, only if I can special order a white one

the 156 gta 3.2 has a crap gm based engine
500 abarth ss, get the standard abarth then have it remapped and save about £4k

the 164 3.0v6 has the best petrol engine

I love the 164, I had a 2.0 TS Super version last year, great car!

Budget, what will it be used for, equipment needs/ wants?

Alfa is owned by Fiat, methinks...
But personally, I'm not keen on Alfa's, so go for a Fiat.

this is just for personal car, getting to and from work, trips if needed, , i would like to stick to Fiat, but we will see

Alfa Romeo 156 GTA 3.2 - 147 GTA is more appealing to me, but still a great car if fuel costs are not an issue. alfa V6

Alfa Romeo 156 2.4 JTD - 156 again, not too my tastes apart from sportwagon. can be easily tuned to be very quick, but it's a diesel.

Alfa Romeo 164 Cloverleaf 3.0 - rare? older, comfy yet has a sporty edge. alfa V6 very big.

Alfa Romeo 147 1.9 JTD - pretty, can be quick. but diesel

Fiat 500 Abarth SS - new, popular but small so practicality might not be best?

Fiat Bravo Sport 1.9 Multijet/1.4 T-jet - very pretty styling, but there's better family hatchbacks out there.

Fiat Punto HGT - punto, small car again, engine often seen as too heavy for the chasis

Fiat Barchetta - punto hgt in a pretty dress, might have similar weight issues with the engine? left hand drive only (wonder if a RHD with a punto HGT rack would be possible?) lowest practicallity of any car on the list tbh.

Fiat Coupe 20valve Turbo - high running costs but no more so than a hot alfa, styling not to my tastes but still a good looking car. quick, fairly practical, 4 seats and big boot. 5 cylinder engine sounds pretty good.
