The new Alfa Quadrifoglio is really great fun! And with its 510 HP it's also very quick:

Yup, looking forward to your thoughts on it! I can't wait to drive one. Though, I'd hold off any lease or purchase for a couple years. I'm sure I'll see a few of them in my area though.

Three main things I am concerned with regarding this car... Reliability, service and aftermarket support.
Historically, Alfas have a reputation of having abysmal reliability, and I just do not trust a new model from a manufaturer with that rep. There is not a huge dealer network, and I would not remotely consider one as a daily driver without a larger dealer network. Also, we have the luxury of a hundred vendors who sell aftermarket parts for our cars, especially so in the States. Throw that out the door, if you get into this car. Aftermarket lightweight racing wheels? Camber plates? Options for coliovers? Tuners? Fuggetaboutit... |

That, of course, does someone no good in terms of service and warranty/reliability. You're at the mercy of the dealer network in that case: BMW: 339. Alfa: 141 (two thirds of which are east of the Mississippi).
