The 8C was a halo car. Alfas of today are great, but they don't have that ultimate flagship to aspire to. They need a new 8C!

The metallic blue is underrated. It's classy, but it still gets noticed.

There's no "best" color. They all bring out different things about the design. That's the beauty of it.

I actually like it in silver. All the little details in the bodywork are still there but it's quite subtle.

It should be two tone with a black roof. Best of both worlds.

Yellow. Fight me. It's not something you expect on an Alfa and it makes the car pop.

I saw one in British Racing Green, once. Sacrilege? Maybe. But it looked incredible.

Honest to God, it's the worst part of the car. A proper auto or manual should have been Alfa's choice. This halfway house doesn't work.

It's a deal-breaker for me. It's a clunky transmission on a car that should be above such things. It ruins the experience.

I see it as a fun challenge. Part of the charm is learning to master the timing of the shifts. This is like learning to drive all over again.

It’s not good, but it’s not as terrible as some make it out to be. It's plus the sound of those throttle blips on a downshift... worth it.
