Stored in a garage, collected and admired...some folks don't even drive these types of cars.

I would, and do.

Kind of like beautiful antiques...not just to be viewed, but used.

The 8C Competizione is a great looking car for sure. They are finally starting to appear on the market here. It is a great but not brilliant all around performer from what I understand. For the price it goes for, there are other cars that would peak my interest before it though.

Its price is not commensurate with the performance but neither is it meant to be otherwise we would all be in corvettes.

The looks alone are worth the price of admission imho

Looks like the offspring of a Hyundai and a Pontiac Solstice Coupe.

The 8C is the tribute to Alfa Romeo's Le Mans winning streak back in the 30's. Jim, this video may or may not change your mind.

Alfa makes some nice cars. I have a friend in Singapore who has I believe a 159 and I have been in his several times. It is a really nice car. I like the technology of this 8C and 8C Spider but it still looks like a Solstice.

The quality of the review is so far removed from those from Top Gear it's just not funny!

Nice clips though...
