    From the Top Gear article "It'll go on sale towards the end of this year and cost somewhere around £50k, which is a fair bit to swallow for an Alfa". Throw in a rough currency conversion and you're $75k USD +.

    You could build a fleet of 818's.....lol.

    Yeah, the world doesn't work that way, you can't just convert car prices in Britain to dollars. That "fleet" of 818s you build would be lacking to the 4C in many ways. What car isn't going to look expensive when compared to an 818 strictly for performance numbers?

    I agree, thats why the "rough exchange" was just a "rough exchange"....we don't have real numbers yet. The Detroit Free Press also says it weighs 2100lbs and $60k. I completely agree.....we can't compare these cars as a complete package, but from a straight track performance viewpoint you get a lot of bang for your buck with the 818. Either way, the C4 is very cool and so is the 818.

    I was just making a bit of a light hearted joke.

    Those brakes are huge on the ATS! And quite a lot of power on a 4cyl too.
