The road test review is interesting.

That's what makes Alfa different. A trait I rather enjoy, just like the old GTV6 of years ago. And just like our old 911's that ooze character in handling.... 'precisely' of which makes them attractive. From the sensational sound, a handful in the steering to keep one busy, working the pedals, nailing down perfect shifts makes it truly fun and always entertaining, even at everyday restricted road limits. You cannot expect one who's never driven a 911 to safely wail away. It must be learned, otherwise they'll lose it in short time and label it as crap.

Again though, the reliability and nuisance issues are unknown. Let's face it, the early gen 911's (and some later MY!) are rather POS in many area's, not unlike older Alfa's. Even so, I miss the quirky GTV6.

If going in on a new 4C, I think one must be prepared and accept the unexpected. Its for the different mindset buyer. All things considered, base MSRP is not too bad. I keep going back to it, but thats how the GTV6 was for buyers years ago. Hopefully one can acquire at reasonable dealer markup and if the production numbers remain limited, might be a fun long term keeper.
