As a former owner of a Busso engined Alfa Romeo 155 (Radwood class winning), I disagree with your assertion that Alfa went downhill in the 90s or that they lost their wackiness.

If anyone buys one of these, even without the markup, you truly are a complete idiot.

A brand new Jaguar F-Type R. 575hp, kid was 16. He crashed it.....within a week.

Right car, WRONG transmission. No amount of deals would get me into a car with the cambiocorsa. Manual? SIGN ME UP!

No GXP? No way in hell. That GM 2.4 is a complete dog and sucks the life out of that roadster. The 2.0T OTOH, with a tune, turns that car into a little Corvette.

That is the point - it should not be a supercar. It is an SUV, not a supercar. Compromised for pretenders.

This is accurate. I want another Alfa, but no manual = no sale.

I would love another Alfa. But Alfas come with a manual transmission, so none of their current offerings I like. If I could get a Giulia QV here with a stick, I would.

Why?

Dodge? No. Keep it French.

Manual? Do not care at all otherwise.

Kia 2.0l. Honda 1.5T. Chevy 1.4T in the Trax. Chevy 3.6L V6. Nissan Sentra engine, whatever it is. 

STILL STUPID

Well I will just not buy a new car with this feature, same with autonomous driving. I want to be in control of my car, all of its aspects.

SLIDESHOW

Chinese cars have been sold elsewhere in the world for years. As long as they meet regulations no real worry.

Dealerships live and die on reputation in this market. I should know, I work at one with a good reputation that routinely steals customers from the one with the crap reputation.

Thankfully if you live in Canada, this is not really a thing. Laws are in place to prevent such a practice.
