Alfa Romeo 6C

First Alfa Romeo I actually like Not like it matters though since I wouldnt go over $50k for a vehicle.

I know you guys like these Alfa Romeos, and they sound like great performance cars, but aren't you concerned about the reliability? I love Italian cars, but I would never want to own one.

IMHO.... I'm not worried. For a Ferrari California engine with 2 cylinders lobbed off and two turbos added? I'll take it!!! When in life will I be able to afford a Ferrari?

These Alfa's for me are a dream come true. Reliability in a bland looking overrated BMW would bother me much more. Ferrari engine and Ferrari tuned suspension on the quadrifoglio.

I think you are making my case from my perspective. I have no interest in ever owning a Ferrari even though they are some of my favorite cars. Unless I was rich, but even then I would probably go for a Porsche or Mercedes.

IMO the M4 looks so much better than the Alfa, but then again I have no desire to own a BMW ever either.

Unless you are very well off, I think you are crazy for entertaining the idea of buying an Alfa Romeo.

One man's dream is another man's nightmare. A Porsche is a dime a dozen. Benz is definitely hot. I'm not sure that the Alfa has all the uber expensive computer controls and high engineering of the Ferrari bring repair costs down dramatically....

And again you're SPECULATING that a completely brand new platform is unreliable. Plenty of unreliable brands have had reliable models in the range. A lot of research and engineering went into this car.

There are plenty of people that would never buy a Z cuz tires can't be rotated and are too expensive. Or because VLSD needs maintaining and insurance is high. To each his own.
