New shape Alfa Spyder

[Andyk]

Yes I know these are too heavy and not that good performance wise but what a great looking car and not that much money...What a real shame Alfa got this models dynamics so wrong....

Spot on Andy...drove one recently...well screwed together, nice finish....gorgeous on move...........but uninspiring with the 2.2....

Its almost worth buying for the looks and seeing what could be done to imorive the dynamics....Such a great looker....

Have to agree guys , i was looking for a diesel one for Kaz ( she does a lot of motoway miles ), she would love one , if they did it in a tin top convertible,but she's probably right that a cloth top would be too noisey on long journey's, great looking car tho and to be had for the right kind of money

Tin top = Brera Loz......

Its a quality top too....very refined.......try one...08 models had better seats for long journeys too

This is what the Brera was supposed to be like:

Back in 2004, the dealership quoted me 60K and I was absolutely hooked - a gul-wing V8 Alfa, what's not to like...

I mustered what I could for a deposit (well, I got a 20k loan) and ... of course it didn't happen. Which is why I ended up in a Maserati in 2005.

 

[Parisien]

Nice....but a touch radical for mid-stream coupe.........plus it didn't really matter as it was dynamically flawed anyways.

Love the look of this car, prefer it to the Brera. Yes it is far from a great drive but those looks just win me over. I would be tempted to go for a 3.2 although that is a far cry rom the real Alfa V6.

We could probably argue all day and night about why Alfa went down the pan in terms of dynamics and driver involvment, Alfa probably know themselves that they dont make cars that are as exciting as the early 00's and 90's models but what they will tell you is the answer you dont want to hear, the cars are now more eco friendly. Shame really, although, i would be tempted to go for a MiTo in yep you guessed it, Corsa Yellow; even went into Mangoletsi today and got a brochure, fabulous looking little car, much prefer it to the Mini and Audi A1.

I'm getting confused......There was the Spider which was a soft top Brera and a Brera Coupe........They never made a tin top convertable Brera/Spider all had soft tops....I have missed something.

Couple more K for a 3.2..Not many around either

3.2 models are pretty rare.
