I drive it in NFS Most Wanted, because it looks like my FRS!

Well, this is the future for sports car. Not so much hp and weight, but lightness and more purpose build platforms (maybe co development with 2 different manufacturer). Hot hatches has nowdays so much power that i think they are pain in the ass to run when they get older, but light RWD sports car with reasonable hp can be quite cheap to maintain. And sports car must be 2+2 seater cos it has better changes to sell enough. I think older porches did have everything right, 2+2 seater, enough power and superb chassis. Like 944 and so on...

But this alfa is way too expensive... I don't know how they have money to do this kind of thing cos they don't have one single car wich sell well. I hope that they will get good sales with 4 c so we would see alfa in business in the future too.

Drat, I was hoping this was the Mazda/Alfa collaboration car. I can't affo'd dat $#!t!

I have been watching and wanting this car since the prototype was released 2 years ago. Having owned Alfa's for years reliability is great as long as you maintain the car properly. Your never really driven a car until your drive an "Alfa" they don't call them Alfaholics for nothing it is truly addicting and so precise to drive. I really hope they can keep the price is the 50k range and 2000lbs with 300hp and I'll lay a deposit today.

The Dealership here in town won't take a deposit on the 4C. I tried and was told that they don't know if they'll get the Alfas or not. So apparently it hasn't been flushed out quite yet.

Fleshed out: To bring details to fruition, to complete sorting of information, to finalize.

Flushed out: To expel something, to force something or someone out of hiding.

"Yes boss, all the details of the project have been fleshed out and we're ready to move forward."

"Sir, the gunman is barricaded in that stronghold and we don't how to flush him out."

And now I've met today's quota of public service. Finally I can clock out

Right. More like 60k and 250-270HP

Captain Insano · 02-19-2013, 06:52 PM

Too bad it will be so expensive. That picture looks so hot.

Sport-Tech · 02-20-2013, 12:00 PM

Let's hope Mazda helps with the design, setup and tuning of the chassis, because Alfa managed a big fail when it did the 8c, it was widely acknowledged to handle poorly.

rhoyle · 02-20-2013, 12:16 PM

I don't think Fiat needs Mazda to help with handling and design considering that they own Ferrari, Maserati, and Chrysler (which includes SRT). Pretty sure they have some in-house expertise.

The cost to me seems pretty low considering what's offered. I guess it's a matter of perspective. I expect the 4c to compete directly with the Lotus and Cayman offerings that are 10-15k more in price. All that while being much more exclusive (2500 made worldwide this year) and I think it's a bargain at 60.

"So expensive" is a relative term! ;-)
