Not Alfa, Marccione wanted those to be the pride of Italy having Alfa's built even partially in Japan would contradict that, if it ever comes to fruition it will have a Fiat or Abarth badge. Would not be surprised to see a AR Spyder up against the Z4/Boxster and a Fiat/Abarth/Miata with the 1.4L Multi-Air (~160-170+hp in current trim, 200 doable with tune and effort) poised at the 370Z/Mustang/Camaro low $30k convertible market.

lol whatever keeps prices down for me, '01-'02 are commanding well over $40k, 315hp, 3,000 lbs, stiff chassis, M tuning, I6 exhaust note. Like said above, probably the last proper luxury sports car BMW built before they dropped the 'sports'.
