    The Ferrari is a beautifully proportioned car which is exquisitely detailed.

    The Alfa Romeo Looks purposeful, has a stance to die for and Details that surprise and delight.

    But I have one qualm with the Alfa Romeo - the Shield Grille sits oddly on the nose. Just to my eyes.

    And because of that the Ferrari Wins. Simply because it is flawless.

    the 8C is undoubtably more useful and more comfortable but it look the Ferrari has it beat. The 8C suffers from the heavy and chunky look that most modern cars have.

    The exclusion of the BMW 507 is to the poverty of this comparison, so in that case...heads its the old thing, tails the new thing.

    The Ferrari's nice and all, but I'd rather have the Alfa. I feel like too many people have learned the 'majesty' of the Ferrari 250's in their early car enthusiast days and because of which automatically vote for it in polls and consider it the best.

    The 8C anyday. Having seen the spider in the flesh, its just beautiful.

    Modern Ferraris are frightfully boring.
    Look like a pair of slippers.

    Where are the 250 and 288's of yesteryear.

    The 250 is an old car.

    you cant compare cars that are separated by 40 years because one costs 15 million and the other 300k. now a good comparison is a 250 gt california and a 275 gtb

    It's a comparison on the looks. Nothing else matters.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!
