True. The 4C will be lot more usable than the Exige for sure. The Elise/Exige is now quite old and sales are down to a trickle. And there are many doubts about the long term survival of Lotus. The pow

Hi Pb2k, Great to have someone who speaks my language here at last!. I live in Colombo and have 4 Alfas. Of course I am a big fan. Once you've got used to an Alfa Romeo nothing else will do eh? BMWs

Apologies for the heart flutter. :)

That particular batch of 146s had numerous problems... including unpredictable airbags which went off if you drove over a pothole :)

Btw that other ancient kitten Bridget Bardot is said to have been strutting around in one of these stunners. One of my all time favourite classic cars.

Yes often rated as one of the most desirable cars in the world along with the B20 Coupe that Tintin and Captain Haddock hitch hiked to catch the Chrysler. :D I love the B20 too.

Interesting how there was a Lancia Aprillia in Land of Black Gold owned by the Emir and it chased the Buick of Mullar. B)

Saw a Spider for the first time in my life in 07 at the Brooklands Italian Car day and I was stopped in my tracks despite having an overdose of Ferraris and Lambos! It was THE show stopper for me.

250GT esq - coz both were penned by Pinin. But the Lancia has a hint of Americana too....

Keith Martin's Sports Car Market Magazine names its top 10 Alfa's

http://www.sportscarmarket.com/slideshows

hmmm wonder why the 8c is not on this list.surely it deserves some credit for making average people get interested in alfa's again,or is it too soon to tell...

and for people who say the 8c is the most beautiful car ever,i reccomend they take a look at some of it's ancestors,which are waaay more gorgeous...

agreed - but i guess this is just an opinion of a group of ppl@SCM magazine in the states - i'm sure the Alfisti will have many changes to make

Well lots of people don't know about Alfa's incredible history. They're probably comparing the 8C with a 164 and talking :D

I think it's something to do with the auction prices. Not THE greatest 10 Alfas of all time... But then again some of these will definitely overlap with such a list.

Look at that Giulia GTA at $83K :blink:

New Alfa Romeo names revealed

Alfa Romeo will call its next two cars the Alfa Romeo Milano and Alfa Romeo Giulia, according to documents released as part of Chrysler’s proposed alliance with Fiat.

The names for the replacements for the Alfa Romeo 147 and Alfa Romeo 159 were included in Chrysler’s viability plan, submitted to the US government yesterday.

All future Alfas will use names instead of numbers, and Milano and Giulia have history within the brand. The Alfa Romeo Milano name was used for the US-market Alfa Romeo 75, while the Alfa Romeo Giulia was previously used as a model name in the 1960s.

Sources say Alfa Romeo will use a more sophisticated development of the Fiat Bravo platform for both models, with a stretched wheelbase version used for the Giulia.

As part of the global alliance plan, Alfa Romeo’s new production line and platforms will be installed in one of Chrysler’s factories and Chrysler will then adopt the two platforms for its own future models.
