Green Bastard Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 ^^ Better lookin than the c7. I like the satin finish too. Even though (to me) it resembles a lotus, is rock the shit out of that car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stangsn95gt Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Reminds me of a lotus, I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geeesammy Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 X3 on Lotus, At first I thought the wrong pics were embedded. The finish reminds me of a vinyl wrapped car. That would be awesome to see as an available color that doesn't have the extra "special paint" fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cordell Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Interesting, must be following fiat's lead. Didn't they strike a deal with Mazda last year? Might really happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco-REX Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Alpha-Miata is in the works. That lotus-like car is pretty cool too. Though TG still calls Alphas unreliable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FourString Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 A replacement for the Miata? This should be interesting to watch the development of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewtoys Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I wonder what the price tag will be? Someone around the corner from me has Alfa that's only a few years old and their still selling in the 2xx,xxx$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 50-60K is the initial estimate for the 4C IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

copperhead Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 http://i412.photobucket.com/albums/pp201/copperhead035/facebook_like_button_big1.jpg NEED MOAR SPORTS CARS Especially more down market ones. Try finding something fun to drive that's 10 years old or less and $10,000 or less that isn't a mustang. FWD need not apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Karacho1647545492 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 It's true, Alfa will be back in the US. I would expect the 4C to start in the $53-55k range. If you want an idea of what the Alfa version of the Spider/Miata effort will look like, google "Duettottanta". Oh hell, I'll do it for you. http://www.blogcdn.com/es.autoblog.com/media/2010/03/04-pininfarina-alfa.jpg http://static.blogo.it/autoblog/pininfarina-2uettottanta-concept-salone-di-ginevra-2010/big_pininfarina_salone_ginevra_2010_24.jpg http://www.italiantestdriver.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Alfa-romeo-Duettottanta.jpg Giulietta and 4C will be the first entrants to the U.S. Nothing firm in terms of pricing on the Giulietta, but I would expect somewhere in the mid-$30k to compete with 3-series and C-class.

Green Bastard Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Anyone have any ideas what kind of a powertrain the 4c will have? The article didn't say, but i think it would be really fun with a low curb weight and a high revving turbo 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article didn't say, but i think it would be really fun with a low curb weight and a high revving turbo 4. 1.75L turbo 4cyl 230bhp, probably will weigh in at 2000 lbs From what I've heard from the Abarth division, that motor is apparently good for hp closer to 300.

Mallard Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 I like the looks of the 4C but was hoping it would be a lot cheaper than $50k. So it's an est. 230 HP coupe that could cost about as much as a C7 Vette that comes with 450HP, standard and optional carbon fiber bits, and pulls over a G on the skidpad (with the Z51 package added)? Karacho - That roadster looks like they ripped off the Sky/Solstice Jewtoys - Sounds like your neighbor has an 8C. They only brought ~90 of them to the US and they are beautiful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
