Came across an Alfa 8C today ( pics)

Unfortunately I only had my Blackberry with me, so apologies for iffy quality. Paint quality was simply amazing on this car, but I (tin helmet on), find the car to be a bit, well...dumpy compared to some of the great Alfas of the past.

Stunning looking car but in my eyes not special enough to justify the price tag.

Beautiful car, I can fully understand why they are 100k plus but doesn't stop me wanting one for less.

I WILL own one at some point (...dreams)

I doubt if they will ever be cheap unfortunately.

that is one pretty car!

We have one at work, in black. It doesn't translate to photos particularly well, and does look quite bloated and cumbersome in photographs. In the flesh though is a different story, and the noise makes people cower.

Would I be considered a herotic if I said I prefer the SZ ?

[crostonian]

No, just heretic! Personally I think I'm with you on that, I know which one is better value for money.

My MIL has just ordered a Cloverleaf Giulietta with this paint as an option for £1700

It does look good though !

[captaintact]

If only Alfa would bring this into production? It is imho one of the most beautiful cars...period!

[CraigVmax]

No, the 8C is vastly over rated. I hope the 4C is much better.

The paint is fantastic! And £1,700 is a lot less than they were trying to ask for that colour a couple of years back. It was a five figure sum!

Hope so ! She gets it in Nov so not too long.

That colour really suits the Giulietta imho.

Whilst SZs are great, I don't see them in the same league as the 8c, which is a stunning car.

nothing worong in that, I do like the SZ as well.
I do prefer the 8C any day though. And technically the SZ is a pig in knickers* anyway
