Current fave: Alfa Romeo 4C aka Auto Viagra
Lots of Euro classic and modern cars to love, but my current infatuation is the new Alfa Romeo 4C. Beautiful, music to my ears, fast, handles and still somehow gets 40 MPG. It's all right here: http://4c.alfaromeo.com/
Rumoured Nurburing times in the Porsche Cayman/Audi R8 territory. For less than the price of a mid-level Corvette.
Hey there, pretty lady!
Music to my ears:
Some guy talks about it:
This is a pretty cool looking Alpha Hugo, what are the specs on it?

The power plant in this 240HP, 1750cc engine pushes this light car from 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds and tops out at 258 km/h (160mph). Twin-clutch 6 speed gearbox mean clutch-less changes with the paddle shifter.
The carbon fibre chassis, aluminum parts and composite body shell are used to achieve a total weight of 895 kgs or approx. 2000 lbs. The light weight helps it be fast but it also helps the car pull dow 41 mpg numbers as well.
Price leaks put the base price in the USA to be just ofer $50 K and just in the mid $60 k in Canada
That's quite impressive for 240HP, I was wondering how it could be that fast until you mentioned the very low weight factor. This actually sounds like a fairly practical sports car.
Yes, that's almost as much horsepower as the 3SGTE has in my ST205, but it only has to push just under 2/3 of the Celica's weight.
Definitely a mercedes. the car of fashion
I’m a sucker for BMW’s; a nice combination of (ride) comfort and handling, reliable and long lasting as well if maintained properly.
