Thanks for old information. As it happens, neither of your information is confirmed either. They suggested a Detroit 2013 launch earlier this year, then denied it again when I last questioned them. The engine spec *still* isnt confirmed. It varies between 250 and 300BHP depending on who you ask, when you ask and which dept is providing the answer. 250BHP looks likely at launch with 300 to follow

Put a proper 6 speed manual in it, sell it for $50,000 and watch if fly out the showroom!
I hope ingress/egress for the Alfa will be better than the Lotus Elise or similar to the Evora. If Lotus could have sold the Evora for $50,000, they would have become a household name in the USA and we wouldn't even be thinking about the 4C!

If they had a manual as well as the F1 shift, they still wouldn't sell many manual cars. F1's sell better, it is they way forward.I hope ingress/egress for the Alfa will be better than the Lotus Elise or similar to the Evora.

Spending the day with ARUK on Wednesday.
Given that people are now being asked to declare, in writing, their non binding interest in a 4c, I'm hoping for some good news from them
They are??? From whom???Given that people are now being asked to declare, in writing, their non binding interest in a 4c, I'm hoping for some good news from them
Have you asked whoever is asking you if they have a confirmed spec to give you? If so that will be the first confirmed spec available worldwide to the general public. Are you getting anything in writing back from Alfa? Is DD part of the ARUK crew you are spending the day with? Last I heard for Uk deliveries he was in charge.

Dealers have been asked to ascertain interest from potential serious customers for about a month now.Have you asked whoever is asking you if they have a confirmed spec to give you?

I doubt specs are even decided on yet. I've been hands on with a 4c non road going prototype & it's easy to get in too (unlike the Elise etc).
Yes, DD is still IC so I'm hoping to hear good news from him ref a 4c or even Giulietta Coupe on Wednesday

Keep us in the loop SR please. Giulietta Coupe sounds interesting . . . . .I doubt specs are even decided on yet. I've been hands on with a 4c non road going prototype & it's easy to get in too (unlike the Elise etc).

I wish I had the Photoshop skills, but I can visualise an update of the old Giulietta Sprint/Giulia Sprint translating very well on the Giulietta floorpan. I can see it in my minds eye but just can't put it into a mock up alas . . .
