Well, until its announced by A-R, I won't hold my breath. And at that pricing, it is out of my range of owning interest anyways.

Altough the Italian reliability isn't exactly industry leading, it certainly is not what it used to be. Probably around the industry average.

Would take the 2014 Cayman at this price or a used Cayman R.

The359 · 02-12-2013, 02:49 PM

Not as pretty as the 8C.

Agreed. Looks like an Exige with an Alfa face.

Hmmm aside from the wheels, I actually like it!

Sounds good to me!

Do want.. Do want REALLY bad.

"Alfa Romeo's do everything more brilliantly then everything else... Briefly. "

(I think I got the quote wrong)

I don't think you guys really get this, this is a huge turn for Alfa Romeo, they could bring years of great cars coming to America. It is expensive, at 60K but its still Italian and still gorgeous, i am for one happy that Alfa will sell this car in America.

This might convince other European only brands that their might be a market for their cars here in the US.

No, we get it. Alfa's saying they're going to bring over a car. Again. They've been saying it for...how many years now?

Yes but you forget they did bring a car already, 8C anyone?

That was limited production though.

Fine: Limited run =/= bringing a car over.

You don't see a company doing anything successful here with one car. The successful ones have multiple models over multiple platforms that justify bringing a halo car to the market. Last I heard, Alfa was not a part of any of the larger car conglomerates.

Long story short, its impossible to get a foothold in a market with only 2 expensive cars.
