Jalopnik lack of taste was too big when they wrote that.

Came here to look for this comment.

Did you REALLY write this? :

"Remember the 8C? Neither does Alfa Romeo. That cynical, overpriced attempt at an American comeback was never mentioned while Alfa trumpeted its return to the U.S. And for good reason. The 4C puts that $300,000 hack job to shame in every department we care…

...or the noise department, for that matter. Not even a comparison.

If anything, the term "hack job" seems much more apt for the 4C. Parts bin interior, Dart 4 cyl drivetrain with added boost, and a hood that cannot be opened.

Remember the 8C? Neither does Alfa Romeo. That cynical, overpriced attempt at an American comeback was never mentioned while Alfa trumpeted its return to the U.S. And for good reason. The 4C puts that $300,000 hack job to shame in every department we care about, and does it at one-fifth the cost.

Just curious, has Jalopnik even drive an 8C or are you just speculating on the "hack job" bit?

I agree. The 8C is one of the prettiest cars to grace this planet.

Did you really just refer to the 8C as a "$300,000 hack job"?

Rather, it looks suspiciously like the weave of carbon fiber.

It's not microseconds, it's centiseconds. A microsecond is a millionth of a second, while a centisecond is a hundredth of a second.

Jim Glickenhaus for sure

That painted foliage paid off: Sivocci came in first, and that clover became Alfa's new racing team symbol because, hey, it works. And, in a kid's-campout-ghost-story twist, the symbol proved its power in a macabre way a few months later when Sivocci was killed practicing for the Italian GP at Monza in an Alfa P1. Due…

Doesn't an Alfa Romeo 8C have to die for every Disco Volante made? Stop this madness! Save the 8C's!

Way better looking. The DV is fat a bloated.

Even uglier than the red one. Good job! It's just not a car that I care about.

The 8C looks better than the Disco Volante.

Throw me to the comment section wolves, but I hate this cars wheel arches. Especially the squared off rear arches. Not even Jeremy Clarkson's Top Gear poetry could make me ignore them. I'd rather have the 8C.
