Doesn't look bad. But the 8C has to be rosso corsa.

[silverhawk]

i cant decide whether i like and dont like the 8C. i need to see it in real to judge if i do like it or not so i'll take the DBS. the DB9 was too plain for me.

This is to the best of my knowledge. On the Alfa website at one point they showed the car in yellow, but US dealers don't have ordering info for that colour (which isn't to say that a few won't come to the US). Someone else mentioned light blue, but I've never seen or heard anything about that. I'm going by US spec which is red, metallic red and black. If someone INSISTS on voting for the Alfa and saying they'd only get it in, say orange, so be it. The UCP Police aren't going to come to your house and beat you into a coma with tire irons.

I've read yellow is available over here, but I just saw the image (and other similar to that) posted before, and that is not a production car.

sure?

Looks good, but I'll stand by my decision. Rosso corsa it has to be.

I tried to go on their site to configure my 8C but it was crappy and froze. I wanted to see other colours.

I just tried and had the same result. But I like the red and that black one above looks georgous, so it's hard enough picking between those two without adding other options...

I'm up in the air between Rossa Corsa or black. I think the yellow and metallic red are nice looking but not for me.

Yeah, it sucks. And it used to be good.

If the website is indicative of their build quality...

This is an italian car we're talking about...

Ah so the web design speaks to the build quality.

Italians don't understand that thing you call build quality. Just like they don't understand automatics.

Must I remind you of the 400i again.

Pff you know what he meant, and wasn't that a GM transmission?

Yes it was, an American made Turbo Hydramatic THM400 - introduced in 1964.

So it's not as if it was Italian built.

Exactly. And the Quattroporte has a german gearbox.

Italians idea of an auto is the Cambio Corsa. Which obviously doesn't work. At all.
