The C8. Hmmm, I dunno. It's nice and all but it's an Alfa.

All this crap about you can't love cars unless you've owned an Alfa, its just that, crap. When Alfa make something I want to buy, then, I'd still rather have a VW...

Nothing. Ghosts of yesteryear. There's a saying that an Alfa already starts rusting on the brochure but that's history. Besides, this is more of a Maserati than an Alfa 😀 The Spider, ohhhh, the Spider 😎 😎

The rust might be history but they're still not the most reliable of cars (what European car is, though) and despite all the positives, they do not age well; and that goes for material and build quality, eye-watering depreciation and long term mechanics.

The C8 is obviously a step beyond the regular road cars, but it's still a brave, heart-led person (maybe a long-term collector) who'd buy one over a host of other things at a similar price.
 
Personally, and I can only speak for myself on this one... but I'd sacrifice a little reliability for a little soul. 🙂
 
Now you'll be able to whoop The Stig from the comfort of your sofa. 😀

^ That is a good looking Nissan imo.

So far the two cars I have liked the best on Top Gear were the Maserati Quattroporte and the Bugatti Veyron. My favorite episode is probably the one with the Veyron, man the speeds are horrendous!

I just watch the show for the comments that Jeremy Clarkson always makes, he is my favorite out of the bunch. My favorite thing that he says is something about a Ferarri with the suspension stiffner, to adjust it for sport mode and all that. He said "This is about as useless as a snooze button on a smoke detector". Priceless!!!!
