    Alfa 8C spider > California. And for this reason I rather have an 8C spider over a Ferrari (I can't believe I am saying that)!

    This is definetely one of, if not the best, looking car I've ever seen. I just wish I had the money to buy one. It should be a heck of a performer too with the direct injection and the 7 speed dsg. Awesome!

    Don't like any of the bodywork behind the middle of the side door. the back is horrible, with the black stripe through the middle, where the bumper should be.
