It is cute, but I am not so sure...

Maybe after a drive I would know.

One of the benefits or problems with one of your clients being an Auto Auction.

The lack of a manual option totally kills it for me, but maybe for a DD :-)

That's a bad ass little car the 4c. We ran into a girl here in Chicago that had an 8c. Instead of having the 4 cylinder engine it had the big v8 engine with balls. She was a Loyola College student driving daddy's ride. The father stated that there were only a handful of them sent to the u.s.(8c). I'd like to test drive one myself and velocity has a special on tv with how it's made dream cars featuring the alfa 4c. Let us know. Happy ripping in the alfa parmesan....

Since the Auction is our largest client and I do not want to have any reason to damage the relationship, I will not be driving this car. I could drive to Saint Louis and take one for a spin, but I do not see that happening. I learned a long time ago, do not drive a car you do not want to own. The same reason I have not driven a Z4M, I may like it too much.

Italian cars are special. Not being Germanic makes the difference. Not necessarily better, just special and, well, different in so many interesting ways.

Yes, it does. I am 25% Sicilian, 25% Northern Italian, 25% Scottish and 25% German. So there is always a conflict going on when I am looking at cars. I always said, that I would love a Ferrari or Lamborghini, but I will never own one because I could save and buy a Porsche. The Italian in me is not very happy with this decision, then again he is not making the money to afford anything more than a modest bottom-of-the-line Z4.
