I don't think it would be in the Z price market. Probably more in line with Supra. Low sixtys, maybe high 50's?

Nice ride man. Unfortunately I've never been a huge Alfa fan....

Can't get past the styling. The front looks like a cleft lip.

You don’t see the front from the driver’s seat!

Honestly, if that’s all that puts you off, I think you’re not giving it much of a chance. But it means someone else will enjoy it instead of you.

The new 8C will be the car to get - carbon tub and 8 cylinder with electric boost to the front axle. But it won’t be cheap. Guessing new NSX money.

Whatever happened to the Alfa 6C?

That coupe will be sexy as f**k as the 4 door sedan is already the sexiest 4 door sport sedan.

I can never get past the front of these cars, just not my taste. :eek:

In Alfa nomenclature, “C” cars are a special class and the product plan only had one specialty vehicle. Not sure why they decided to bring the 8C name back, but it has some traction from the recent model, and with the described drive train it should be an amazing performer.

GTv’s of yore have been no slouches, but not supercar class. More of a volume category. Think Camaro if you want a comparison. If Alfa wants to hit its goas of moving 400,000 units a year (was first projected for this year, but in typical Italian fashion now delayed to 2022), it cannot afford to mess around with too many specialty, low volume cars.

The 4C was a real gift to autophiles. Baby supercar looks and numbers for a moderate luxury car price, and they probably lost money on every one they moved. But it got the marque noticed after a generation away from these shores and a decade of milquetoast models like MiTo in the rest of the world. Unfortunately, that kind of treat is few and far between - bad news for future buyers but something very special to those who have one. I know of a few 370Z owners here who have taken the plunge or are looking to do so. Expect the upcoming lineup to be market-priced.

Be honest - the grille of the 370Z is not its best feature either. It’s one car where I had no issue covering up the nose with a front license plate!

I think this over the Z any day... any way.

I drove a Giulia and it was the best driving experience I had from ANY modern sedan or coupe under $80k Internet rhetoric kinda panicked me from buying one. But if Alfa proves reliable? It will be my next car. Hands down.

My main issue with the Giulia... brake by wire... why?

In the range of an M3 coupe I imagine.

Thinking you may be a tad low on those figures
