Title: Alfa 4C
Post by: Joe Garra on December 31, 2014, 10:15:42 AM
Does anybody know what's happening with it? (not that I have the spare cash to buy one :-) )

Hi Joe

Not sure about in Oz but they're finally being delivered to owners here in the US. Some people are paying stupid money for launch editions, makes you weep when you know MRRP is often several $10's of thousands less. Somehow they get away with that here. Hope that doesn't happen in Oz as well.

How many 4Cs were there?  Did you see any other colours besides red or white cars?   ;)

There will only be four 4C dealers in Victoria.

I take it that Zagame and Lance Dixon would be the two of the four dealers.

Nice.... but please don't tell me the Aus cars will all get the ugly headlight setup?

Mmmm, me thinks even if it has those headlights and they do, would you say NO?

Someone rather lucky and loving it, with an obvious port of call being Lygon St, fantastic.

This car was used in the filming of promo. Maybe Tiamo restaurant owns it

You're right Neil.... I'd take it anyway!

Can always be fixed later....its great to have a car like that to make people sit up and take notice of Alfa again.

I mean amongst my friends/work mates they have all discussed it with me just from the web noise/hype  about it over the last few years.

Can only help our great marque get noticed more.

Cheers.

Hmm. The 130kg heavier 4c might still make 4.5s 0-100kmh, but only when a jockey drives it?
