i think it is simply one of the best looking cars ever. just so sexy. according to top gear it handles like crap but i've learned to take much of what they say with a grain of salt.

I saw this thread and called my friend at Ferrari of Denver. A truck with two onboard just left. A true friend he is not. A true friend would have called. Sniff.

Alfa has delayed their US comeback to 2011 now

Alfa delayed

Seems a few 8C's were delivered into the US anyway though.

In better economic times, I'm sure they'd have no problems selling them.
Do u know if I could afford it? Don't assume just because I question the cars value. My money would be on a Lambo, Ferrari or something more exotic but the point is that what is there that makes it so expensive?

I saw the 8c here in Italy, didn't expect to see one even out here in its homeland! Pictures don't do any justice, either, it looks a lot better in person.









sorry bout the last pic... I got in the way, lol!

Beautiful car, but that's all it is.

Clarkson hates this car with a passion.
