Definitely a nice car but no manual trans = no thanks.

Im going to have to apologize here... I did not realize everyone was saying the facebook pictures were an 8C which it is, I thought you guys were saying the 4C in the video was an 8C.

Under steer is easy to fix.


I'd much rather go around a track with the 4C
Why the hell are you even on this forum?

Sort of like how the 86 isn't the fastest car out there yet we all love it for different reasons, I know the Alfa may not be the most complete car but I love it for different reasons. Number one being that it's an Alfa destined for the U.S. Number two being that it's got a carbon fiber chassis in a car costing under $100k. Number three is the sub-2 liter engine that's turbocharged. Number four is the manual steering. Maybe I'll pick one up in 2015 if there's any left!

No independent rear? What are you talking about? Do you even know what an independent rear suspension is? Because I'm pretty sure you don't if you think think the Ft-86 has a solid rear axle.

Corvettes have independent suspension (as does the FRS/BRZ)...
