Vivace made a great point; if Alfa is too blind to see what enthusiasts want, let's tell them, or even build them ourselves.

I agree with all the preliminary specs V. threw out, and would further muse that we stop at designing a chassis that fits our needs, and let Alfa supply the engine mechanicals, since these were its forte. Alfa did a great job with the 105-series engines (and there's plenty of them lying around needing minor rebuilds, at reasonable prices) and gearboxes, so we might as well design a car with the correct mounting points to receive such. Now, if only I were an engineer...
