In today's word, $1000-$3000 probibly won't make a difference, but I think $10,000-#$12,000 will.

By the time Alfa comes back, there will also be a number of competitors at a similar or less expensive price, like the quatro version of the VW Golf, with 260 horsepower, and the Subaru WRXE with about 260 horsepower.

The Mitusbishi Evo (quatro) is already here, with 271 horsepower..

and all of these have a better reputation for reliability than Alfa...not to say Alfa won't sell some cars, but there best year ever was about 8500 units, and they think they can sell 50,000!
