The 8C was introduced almost two years ago....If Alfa Romeo could attract sufficient buyers
they would have put the 8C in production. The 8C doesn't make any sense at all at the moment. Why not fit the transverse mounted Cadillac Northstar V8 and create a Brera GTA???
I do not believe the Maserati V8 will be mounted in the Brera because they would have
to develop or buy a very short gearbox. It can be done but it wouldn't make any business
sense because the Caddie engine can be used for far less money because the GM engines are
very inexpensive due to GM's very efficient engine high volume manufacturing.
Unless Maserati will drop out of their league and also use the Premium platform and GM V6
engines etc. Considering Jaguar mishap with the X-type I wouldn't want to follow that route.
I have never understanded why Jaguar, Maserati, Audi etc cannot cooperate instead of
bringing in a Mondeo.
