Not to steal 1337's thunder, but I have been contemplating adding an Alfa once the garage is clear. Yesterday I saw a Fiat 124 Spider heading down the road and it looked real nice, so now... WWYR:

Late G2 or G3 Alfa Romeo Spider with the 2l engine (132 hp)

Fiat 2000 Spider (102 hp)

Everyone is going to pick the Alfa because your Fiat picture has the ugly ass bumpers.

Fiat Spider, because it's just as sexy as the Alfa, but with better parts availability. Also, I own a Fiat. Did I mention that the lines on the 124 Spider are impeccable?

My Dad had an Alfa Spider Veloce and Milano. Oh and his first car was a 124 coupe. He loved them both but it seemed like the Alfa was a better car (yes I know 124 spyder vs 124 coupe but same platform, separate of the sedan). They were both relatively reliable though, 100% honestly. This can't be stressed enough! They aren't as finicky as they're made out to be!
The Fiat rusted through in a year or so after moving north for grad school (poor rust protection), but besides refinishing the wood it held up well in the south. The Alfa held up well as a summer car in the north. My $.02

Alfa Spider, but only because fayboyism. The Fiat's great too.

All of you who picked the Alfa are heathens.
