Kinda weak for a rear/mid engined car no? nice to see 2-pot calipers in the front though.engineerednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-47032406212306207042013-06-12T08:19:06.502-04:002013-06-12T08:19:06.502-04:00Well Alfa should never have given up on its RWD le...Well Alfa should never have given up on its RWD legacy, but the 4c looks to be a damn good try at getting its mojo back. sure people are going to complain "no manual" "weird headlights" but I'm not seeing any other manufacturer step up with a sub 2000 lbs carbon tubbed car for less than the cost of a Boxster...AxisACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17940643.post-65031637301101570922013-06-12T06:08:54.379-04:002013-06-12T06:08:54.379-04:00I am very skeptical of A-R's ability to reente...I am very skeptical of A-R's ability to reenter the US market. I live in Europe and have driven a number of their recent cars -- attractive styling aside, they are rebadged Fiats. Obviously the 4C is a different creature, but Alfa lost its mojo somewhere around the demise of the 164. Their sales reflect that, heading down to the 100k level yearly, which is the point at which I think you either have to throw in the towel, like Saab, or nut it up and go big, like Audi.Peternoreply@blogger.com
