They show some carbon fiber ones at first, then some matte black versions. Not a fan of either, but the carbon fiber ones do look more purposeful.

English is the international language of engineers genius. Also, It's probably an iTouch as I can't see someone stopping a CnC machine to take a call from their wife. iPhones are used to interface with many sophisticated technologies. What's your point? Armchair quarterbacks grasping at straws to hate something for no…

Because you've driven both side by side. We eagerly await your test numbers and highly subjective evaluations.

Maserati is part of the Fiat Group and their assembly facilities are much more suited to labor intensive small production runs than Alfa's robotized lines, especially those involving carbon fiber, so yes.

If you're referring to rust, Alfa Romeo began galvanizing their cars in the late 80's beginning with the 164 and expanded it to the rest of their line. It hasn't been an issue for 25 years. Please update your stereotypes. Also, they were hardly the only manufacturer to have rust issues in the 70s and 80s.

This is a…

Well, at least there's that

Wouldn't know, I'm more of a coffee drinker.

Evil, weird, alien, bold ,daring, polarizing, and fast as hell, just might kill you. The essence of a great car.

You clearly have no clue as to what a TVR is or what TVR stands for. Stick to the Pep Boys aisles.

Yeah! Laugh out loud ! OMG! As if!...

Apples and oranges, completely different driving experiences and characters. No one would ever cross shop the two. Plus, the Abarth feels way faster than it is. It's about fun, character, style and lineage, if you know anything about Abarth's checkered and storied history. I love Subies, but I really want an Abarth.

There are genuine, mistakes which we all make, then there are completely head-in-ass moments that deserve ridicule. But I agree, if you can't take it, don't dish it out.

Seriously? It's KITT's dash, from Knight Rider

As a self confessed techie, I say "hear hear!". Bring back knobs and simplicity!

Great tech, and I love it in my current Honda, but most people don't know that Alfa Romeo wast the first manufacturer to offer (mechanical) variable valve technology on a production car in the 1980 Spider 2.o motor.

Me neither. That's still quick.

If only....(sigh)

C'mon, that concept looks liek a reject from Speed Racer, but yes, the production model was even worse. (See 'bloated' and 'horrible overhang')

TH LH cars were pretty advanced for their time, especially in terms of design, and especially for an American company.

The 405 was not a hot hatch and yet praised for its handling, but I agree; they need another 205 and 309 GTi
