Default New Alfa Romeo 4C

Looks real nice! Alfa Romeo 4C

I wonder if this is going to be the next step up for those of us that want to go up from the S?

I think I'll stick with my Hyondai S2000. I thought it would have been hard to design a worse stereo head unit than the S2000 but "Alpha" somehow managed to do it. Name:  Alfa-Romeo-4C-steering-wheel_zpse5c7440a.jpg

So I think the supposed increase in curb weight to meet US crash safety regulations ruins most of the appeal of this car. When it ends up weighing 100-200 lbs less than an s2000, it becomes a lot less special. An Exige might be a better choice..

Well excuse my French. I corrected the title. BTW, where do you get 'Goddammit' from? That isn't even a word.

I'm actually toying with the idea of a 4C (I'm sure it will be nearly impossible to get one soon) but I'm not sure it would be worth financing about half of the car...

Haha. Okay, man. You made a mistake. No need to get all upset about it.

It's a perfectly cromulent word.

Besides the styling, haven't heard many good things about the 4C. Numb steering, lazy engine, uninspired exhaust note, etc.
