Lotus may be cool, but doesn't have that same sex appeal that lures myself and my gf in.

Same thing as why we prefer to buy Ducatis instead of Suzuki SV650's.
Both are V-Twin bikes, that go quite nicely, and turn quite nice, but you get more soul in that Ducati as it empties your wallet of all your free cash.

Same reason why young boys would rather date a hot swimsuit model instead of a plain looking librarian. You think you are getting more for your money, at that point in time.

The 4c will be in the US. Alfa's going to use Chysler's dealer network to bring it's cars back here. Alfa high-ups have stated that the car will be here. Chysler's bankruptcy may be one of the best things to happen for Alfa fans in a very long time.

As for the car itself, I'm excited too. Can't wait to see it, the elise, and the sub- boxster shooting it out. But it better offer a manual transmission. The popularity of the dual-clutch auto is scaring me.
