    All the reviews say it is Alfa Romeo to the heart, some of the execution is a little weak, needs a little more juice and some tweaks to the software.

    I would put one of any color in my garage. :)

    Ah yes! The never ending delay, I have been hearing about the return of Alfa Romeo for some many years, I figure I should just go out and buy a nice old Milano again. :)

    8:04 time on the Nurburgring, is that good?

    I think it's beautiful from angles where I can't see those headlights. Not my cup o tea. Someone ought to make a bundle selling headlight kits.

    Jalopnik article on those divisive headlights. If I understand the guy, his point is there has to be something big and obvious to complain about or it wouldn't be a real Alfa...or something like that.

    For some reason that doesn't look very good to my eyes. I'm wondering if it's the colors. Shouldn't an Alfa be red?

    All I gotta say....

    When you cross the border into Nogales Az, and the ICE guy is walking up to your 4C with a 4M crowbar he will get that hood open..... CF makes such an interesting "crackle"......
