exactly what i wanted to say, Alfa's r hot cars, the last alfa i didnt like was the old 166, all others are super hot!!

they are also very powerful...

i would give up a 335i for that in seconds! (dont flame me)

Super hot! You know the Alfa 8C really doesn't have any distinguishing key designs from the Dino, maybe the rear taillights. If anything, it kinda looks like the Panoz GTR.

Alpine · 12-20-2006, 04:42 PM

I think the rear lights make the car look like its making this face -

- the lights look suprised!

BlueLion · 12-20-2006, 10:29 PM

theres nothing not to like

ZuerstBMW · 12-21-2006, 01:01 AM

VERY nice car.

maq · 12-21-2006, 01:09 AM

The 8C is inspired by the original Alfa supercar, the Tipo 33 from the 60's.

northernlights · 12-21-2006, 01:42 AM

:rocks:

When I consider out of reach cars, Alfa doesn't make the cut. Until now. Very exciting...or so say the damn emoticons.

Both are Red and have single round tale lights, front engine rearwheel drive.

They really don't look much alike.

BMW320i · 12-21-2006, 01:45 PM

I love Alfa!!!!

obLu · 12-21-2006, 02:55 PM

The cab version is even hotter.

Finally a car to truly lust after. Modern Ferraris just don't have that beauty anymore. Still hot, but they just don't visually excite me like the 8C cab does. They look too sterile, too purposeful. Same with Lambos. To me they look like race cars for the street. Not automotive sculpture.

Gawd, I think I need to quit before I have to clean a stain off my seat.

SaskE90 · 12-22-2006, 08:13 PM

wow that alfa looks absolutly stunning

ghosey115 · 12-23-2006, 01:20 AM

Beautiful!

ghosey115 · 12-23-2006, 01:25 AM

Well if I was to venture an opinion on the ferrari rip off comment above I'd have to say that the ferrari is a horrible car. I dont see the connection at all - If I didn't know better (in that the ferrari was penned before the alfa) I'd say the ferrari looks like a typical japanese knock-off design of a genuinely beautiful Italian supercar (the alfa)! Simply not in the same league, the alfa is pure art!

you know that these are your opinions and they are subjective right??

to me, i hated the look of the 599 GTB but it grew up on me, and now, i think it looks amazingly stunning!
