$54,000 starting price in the US. Seems like a steal.

Anyone else putting their hat in the ring for pre-sale? IF it goes for $54K, I'm game. I think it's sexy (yes, even the spidilights)

If I were able to swing it, I probably would. Hard sell over the new Vette, but I love this little thing.

Holy shit. That's cheaper than expected.

Yeah, plus dealer markup may skyrocket the price to boot.

I had thought Alfa said only 500 would be available in the United States? With only 500 available USDM, you can bet the street price isn't going to be anywhere near $54000.

I saw the video last night and thought I'd love that and I should immediately go out and sell the FRS lol.

I probably won't

Is this basically just the next Lotus Exige S240? Very similar stats, although the 4C is a bit cheaper.

I've read 3,500, but not sure if that's worldwide or USA... If worldwide, I HIGHLY doubt I'll get drawn.

Yup, worldwide. I think it's just a matter of being able to manufacture the carbon fiber tubs.

Also, source, in case I'm wrong, I can point at the source and say "sorry guys, wasn't my call!"

I saw a pair of these in full camo near my house about a week ago. Living a few miles from Chrysler HQ has it's perks now and then.

So much for $54,000. With the idiotic price gouging we saw on the BRZ, this one is sure to attract a lot of greed.
