$50K? No way. I'd believe $150K.
Lines like "carbon fiber skin" and 4.7L making 450 HP blow away that $50K suggestion. Looks more like an Aston Martin or Ferrari competitor.

They are technically using the Maserati engine (developed by Ferrari). I would think that, in the US, the car would cost a little less than the equivalent Maserati. So, around $100K.
I really like the design, but I'm waiting for the Spyder version.

Looks like old school ferraris...maybe the GT california (Ferris Beuller).....its got the looks, but does it depreciate like an Alpha (48% in their first year)?

With only 500 coming in the first year, I do not think it will depreciate as bad as that. My guess is that it will depreciate as much as a Maserati. Which is still a lot.

I absolutely LOVE the looks. Too bad that Alfas hold together about as well as a Big Mac in a rain storm.
Alfa should bring out a modernization of their 1960's vintage GT coupes - some of my favorite cars of all time.
