Peugeot 308 seems to be upping its game as well.

I shall also be watching how much Mr Crosse's 930 purchase costs him!

They substituted a GT86 for the Elise in the video

How can the Cayman have a sharper front end than the Alfa? 400kg difference in weight, and it gets out handled.

fking Alfa Romeo getting my hopes up.

Again.

"Steering doesn't have much feel"? How the hell have they managed that in a light mid-engined car with no power steering?

Mental isn't it.

Someone at Alfa needs shooting, actual 2 people do.

The person who didn't get it right, and the person who said it was finished as it was.

£50k for a 4-pot Alfa? Not with my money, although it's great to see this kind of car come on the market.

What's most distressing is to see the Italians producing a properly styled/packaged car which should have come from Norfolk.

Nice looking car. Too far in the direction of an Elise inside for an everyday car for me, and as others have said - 50k for a stripped out 4 pot is bonkers. Cayman S for me please.

Thankyou4calling

Cayman for me too but the GT 86 looks fantastic on the circuit.

Alfas history has always been light weight 4 cylinder engined cars, plus Lotus already did a mainstream light car - the Evora.

Italian cars have always been light, small capacity, high revving and great to drive.

Sadly the Alfa is only 2 of those.
