Too bad there may be no 8c for there to be an 8c Jr.

I think I might just wait for the 151 to come out instead.

BTW, do you think that by the time this model line hits its third generation from now it will evolve back into the Alfa 155? I seriously think Alfa should cut out giving their cars numbers over names.

1)10-11/2007 market launch.
2)It will use Compact platform same with new Delta but more enforced (better torsional rigidity) & with different wheelbase/suspensions (mcpherson in front for Delta,double wishbone for new 147-project 940)
3)Alfa 940,alfa 159/Brera/Spider my2008 & delta hpe will propably have in basic equipment ARC (active roll control)
4)Length 4.4m,wheelbase 2.6m,height 1.4m,width 1.8m
5)Rear and lines by the side reminds of Kamal and the front has same typology with 8c competizione…we will see sth special with the doors.
6)Giulietta is the favorite among the proposed names.

With all the rage and enthusiasm that this car generated on these boards, I wonder why we haven't heard anything new about it in a while. Geneva is literally right around the corner. The 149 was suppose to be released in the fourth quarter of 2007. The 8C Spider was revealed a week ago as a car that would make its production-ready debut at Geneva. Is Alfa waiting to surprise us or have they forgotten about their "other" little Alfa?
