Alfa Romeo USA
Weekly Recap: Alfa Romeo's US plans take shape - Autoblog
http://o.aolcdn.com/hss/storage/mida...eo-4c-fd-1.jpg Alfa has a new head man in North America, and he's armed with an ambitious plan. It now makes sense why FCA boss Sergio Marchionne has been adamant he won't sell Alfa |
bout time
Been waiting for Fiat to start bringing in more of the Italian brands, Alfa is very cool, hopefully they'll bring Lancia stateside as well :)
|
I hope this car is good. Mazda upset the sports car world with the Miata and they had the Mazda name.
This is Alfa's big chance at a comeback. They have the name and so far everything I have read about this has been positive. But will it survive contact with the real world? |
The 4C seems targeted at the Lotus Exige/Evora, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Jaguar F Type. Pretty tough crowd.
|
I haven't seen any 4C's on the road yet but from the pictures they look gorgeous. Any day one will turn up driving around here at this point.

I passed because it was just not that much fun to drive. Not next to a 911, anyway, at least not for me. Now Dino's are big bucks. I guess it is that Ferrari nameplate. I think the fact the Alfa is new will push a few units out the door, but if it is not fun to drive then all the posers in the world will not make it a success. But I do agree with your comment. |
And....
I hope Alfa has moved away from that arms extended driving position. I never could figure that out. |

The U.S.-Spec Alfa Romeo 4C Is 342 Pounds Heavier I hope a couple of those extra LB are in the form of a fire extinguisher. You know, because Alfa. |

And suddenly the 4C is irrelevant because new Miata.

I was at the track Monday and they were running around the new F type, sounded way better than the M3 and scooted!

I ran into the same thing on the Jensen-Healy except there I also had to cram my size 14's into a space on the right side of the steering shaft in order to work the clutch. |
I had a 69 Berlina sedan in college. Same color as this one. I think I paid about 2K for it.

Guido will follow in a pickup to recover parts as they fall off.
