If the devil wanted my soul the C8 would be the thing to offer me. Ferrari engine with an Alfa body it gets no better than that. And they only made like 800 of them so no worries about seeing another one

Although the new Masseratti with the same engine has been getting good reviews as well, too bad it does not come close to looking as good as the Alfa.

If I get an Alfa I will have personalized plates reading "MELMAC" anybody get it?

Well, we will all get to see it. I read that BMW has struck a deal with FIAT to market the Alfa Romeo in MINI dealerships.

I agree its ugly, looks like a little Nissan subcompact.

Car lust...... ;-)

If you guys think the 8C is ugly there is no hope for you. I feel sorry for you.

Convert the rear lights to a quad setup, and loose the ugly lemon pucker grille and youll have a great looking car!
Other then those two items, the car looks nice.

I think the sand has entered your brain Without that grill it is not an Alfa and the rear end is near perfection.

Those are nice cars, but not very usable in our modern world. Once or twice a year to the local British car show & other times a fine driveway sculpture. That is when it's not in the shop for it's twice yearly repair job.

Does it come with a tweed jacket, pipe, and a job as a college professor? If not that is a jip Ohh and a AAA membership as well that is required for one of those.

You need the AAA+, it comes with 100 miles of free towing. Those cars are neat, but are really only useful for parking at the Brit car show. Sad, but true.

That car is as old as I am. Let me tell you the joints are shot it doesn't handle well & has real bad gas leaks. Me not the MG.
