its the cover car in this months "car" magazine (a european mag)- looks like it is aimed at the f430 (price especially).

but my favs in that mag are the audi r8, and the lambo lp640 !
interesting that the performance specs on the alpha are very similar to the r8, but the r8 is around half the cost...

audi at around $120k and the lambo at around $250k (they report in euro currency and this is my very rough conversion!)

I'd rather have the vintage Alfa Romeo in the background of the first picture.

For that kinda of money I rather have the F430. Can't you buy the masarati for about $80-90k american??? I rather have the masarati for half the price.

The pontiac with the V8 I like, pontiac with the 4 cyl I don't like. lol
