oh WOW this thing will be fast - reliability scares me though...

Isn't it a time to implement a international standard for the mandatory place and size of the licence plates of cars, especially on the front. It's not so good looking this Alfa with plate like that and it will be quite uglier with North American plate because of the higher vertical size...I miss old Italian micro sized front licence plates!

I think the same thing for the new Mazda 3's. Right in the middle of the grill.

I don't think Alfa is going in the right direction for introducing their cars to North America.  Other brands are cancelling their coupes in favour of SUV's. 

The popular segment is premium compacts, and CUV's.  Alfa has brought a coupe, and now a super sports sedan.  I having nothing against the coupes, and sports sedan, just would have brought them later.

I'm not sure how successful Alfa will be in Canada in any event, but I don't think that introducing the coupe first is a bad idea...build up local excitement, then bring out the ones folks want to buy.

I doubt the 340 HP diesel based on the FCA/VM Motori 3.0L will ever make it here, mostly given emissions challenges.

I get that, an excitement car is good, gets people into the dealerships.  But they don't have a model under $60,000! For a car company very few people know anything about (around here), that's not good.

Great Picture. I'm a fan of classic Alpha's Giulietta, Spider and GTV.
