To say I didn't like these at first I'm slowly coming around to how it looks 


Must be out fairly soon, I think the official launch was at Goodwood? Anyone who went have a look around one?
Bit pricey mind, could get a 159 for not much more. That red paint - £1800 option

It really is a shame that cars have to have front number plates, Alfas would benefit from no front plate so much.

Tell me about it Danny 
I like them a lot, I just don't have the need or a car that size. I've driving the JTD one, it's very nice

I wonder how many people they expect will spend an extra £1300 for a different shade of metallic red paint. That's fucking ludicrous.

Yes I agree Matt, the only colour I could have the MiTo in was black without paying, I paid £400 for ALFA RED

Probably why all the press photos are in white Bet it's the metallic white though 
Edit - Yep, sure is 
The Alfa red looks odd on this for some reason

They aint cheap, even the Mito isn't cheap now. The Mito I have is near 2k more than what I paid for it less than a year ago

That red is 8c red, it used to be £15000 extra on the Spider 
Suposedly its an amazing car to drive, outhandles all the competitors in its class due to the funky Q2 electronic diff
why they didnt fit a real diff is beyond me 
I have a pdf for the accessories at work too, Quite a few little bits of Carbon for it, Dash, Spoiler, Gearnob, Mirror Cover, bumper inserts.. unfortunately none of it is cheap

Out of what? 5 or 10?
By the time you spec up the 2.0D your at Cloverleaf money, but obviously it'll cost far more to run/maintain/insure

No ASR button but I like a good blast in D...
I want a remap to be completely honest, not silly power just a nice drivable power curve, it's got fuck all low down unlike my Ibiza had... but it goes keep pulling high up the rev range. Still returns an average of 49MPG though
