????  Isn't that an 8C.  Not a V6.

Smart choice sports car would be a MX5, or a Toyota Camry.

What's remarkable to me with this new model is how well they have kept it hidden. Today's the 22nd, release is 2 days away, and nobody has really seen any sort of real world view of it.

Plenty of sketches, and a couple of heavily camouflaged test cars, but nothing at all that can really be said to be indicative of what will actually be announced.

What exactly are you talking about here, you had a picture of an 8C and hinted at it being a V6, then talked about next year's Giulietta with an article of a proposed release of a new model the Giulia.   The title being something about smart choice sports car or ferrari etc.  ???  Nothing seems to be in sync, can you clarify.  But lets talk about the Toyota Camry.

Honesty: I really really hope it's awesome. Really awesome.

The 4c exceeded my expectations, but it's a niche product. A really good sporting sedan is well overdue. Really looking forward to seeing what they've been able to produce.

Seeing that you like Camrys so much Neil I guess you wont have a problem if I bring this one to the next club sprint. :)

yes sorry Neil, the first item found, which due to my poor computa skills ,  left the actual article out,it said they were producing
a variant of the 8c with a ferrari motor maybe "6c "this was to launch the new alfa program approach.
the other article is for the main frame vehicle direction in particular the new flagship being the "giulia",
cant wait for more !
ps: camry's ! well what can one say, other than after driving one  it feels like ,oh i dont know exactly,beige!
like life is not worth living, that auditing my books is fun ,you see things in a different light, like reality tv seems like a good idea.
THATS it! thats the answer to our TV viewing, all the directors of these program,s drive Camry's.
So company cars are the real problem! if they drove Alfa's we would have more entertaining TV.
Solved another 1st world issue .
