And it's every bit as beautiful in person.

Alfa Romeo wanted me to take a picture with their new 4C so bad that they sent one to Auto Express Alfa Romeo Fiat of Erie with a salesman willing to take pictures of an 18 year old kid next to a car when said kid randomly walks into their dealership and asks for it.

sounded great.

I'm not much of a giant, the thing wasn't much longer that the fiat 500 next to it, and no, they wouldn't even let me sit in it, it's already been sold.

Pictures just don't do that car the justice it deserves

I have that shirt.

Target t-shirts are the best.

I know right?! The salesman actually asked about it, he has one too I guess.

I saw one zooming down on the opposite side of the highway a few months ago. It was a thing of beauty both visually and audibly. I'm still stalking the Alfa/Fiat dealership here to see if they're getting another.

The one here is being shipped out to CA, so I'll never see it again...I guess it's for the best, I'd cry if that thing ever hit a pothole around here.

There are a few still for sale in the 'burbs. I might have to go visit one next time I'm out that way.

Kinja'd!!!

I saw one about a week ago! I will have one of these in my life.. some day. I spend almost 45 minutes just looking at it from different angles. I'm in love.

Pictures just don't do them justice, I would love to own one some day too

haha I meant to type "spent", not spend. But when it comes up on my wallpaper I pretty much stop what I'm doing and dream. So it might be accurate still. Pictures really cannot portray the curves. The best online source for it's looks I've seen was saabkyle's review because you actually get enough time to soak in the curves.

Curious - what was the sticker? My sister has a Fiat/Chrysler connection, and I keep telling her that she needs a 4C after a series of minivans. Not that I'd want to borrow it or anything ....

The sticker on that one was $68,000+, it was one of the 500 launch edition cars, number 398 I think.

As I recall they're all flappy paddle and the frunk doesn't open. Still, an exciting car for Alfa to return with.

It's also really a car you have to see in person to fully appreciate, the cars looks are beautiful.

I understand that - remember the first time I stood next to a Lotus Elise.
