Not that appealing to me either, but...

Forget the billion in the bank, if you had say £130,000 to spend,what else could you get that would truely stand out from the crowd.

I'd put all my pennies together and have one of these, any day. starting price around £125,000 and the rest

I've seen a White spider, and it just looks stunning, but agree with most that if it was 911 money it would make more sense. The 4c looks like it will be a corker too, and it will be more sensibly priced!

I'm thinking of putting a deposit down on the 4C to get my name on the list early. I love the 8C spider, fantastic looking car!

I can't think of a more stunning car for the money. If money were no object they'd be one in our drive!

The Fiat dealer we went to is also an Alfa dealership and the guys their reckon they've already taken a dozen or so deposits on the 4C. It looks just as stunning as the 8C IMHO.

I agree the 8C is absolutely stunning. The 4C to a lesser degree - yes its got some very fine detail and styling cues but the overall proportions don't quite work for me - it's basically a curvier version of a Lotus Elise.

Anyway here are some images I took of the 4C at the Geneva show....

I heard the local Ferrari garage to us had 2 8c's in stock, a coupe and a Spider and as Helen loves Alfa's (she's on her 4th) we stopped by today to have a look. Both looked amazing in red. The Spider was brand new and was for sale for £195,000!

We were happily just looking around when the Ferrari sales guy came over and asked if we needed help. I said we had an Alfa and just stopped to look at the 8c. He couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming. Anyway he said 'you've got to hear the 8c' and went off to get the keys. He then encouraged us to sit inside the car and rev it which made Helen's day. He also said feel free to look around the Ferrari's. They had a lovely 458 Italia and 599 GTO inside the showroom but both were sold and locked up. I didn't expect such a welcome response from a Ferrari dealership especially as we had turned up in Helen's Mito.

Not sure I'd have an 8c over a Ferrari but if my numbers had come in last night's euro millions I would have had both!
