want one, want one badly.I am biased, but I think this is the best in the segment. Hope it drives as well as it looks, and it should considering its architecture underneath.Welcome back Alfa.

Looks great.....but. This segment is getting exiting for people with $80k to spend.

Driving dynamics is the true trump card, however, and we shall see about that. I think, given Alfa's stress on driver's cars etc. that it will be epic-ally good

I'm guessing this car will be a reliability nightmare.

I really like the front of the car - but the side profile isn't anything special - I think it looks very previous gen IS-F - nice, but I would want an Alfa to be stunning from every viewpoint.And I agree with DeLorenzo - it's going to be a total POS quality wise. An M4 or AMG will be a vastly better car. AMG cars have proven to be pretty well made. Audi's latest performance cars are proving to be among their best efforts too.
