Default Has the Alfa 4C Hit The Streets

I was on the way home from work yesterday and believe I saw a gray Alfa 4C parked in front of the Tesla dealer in Northbrook.

There is a Fiat dealer near the Tesla shop so it might have been visiting from that shop.

Has anyone seen a 4C on the streets yet?

Haven't seen one in the wild, but a local FIAT dealer has recently added Alfa to their signage. I'd expect to see more start to pop up

Why the hate so early? Car hasn't even been properly reviewed.

What hate? It sounds like he wants to see one but hasn't had a chance, thus he thinks you are lucky that you were able to see one.

OP said

to which my response was 'No' followed by 'Consider yourself lucky'. How can that be misconstrued as negative?

Strange fella

From what I gathered from this thread, Hoovey hates Italian cars

I went by the Fiat dealer and they are closed. It looks like Fields sold the franchise to the Autobahn group in Evanston.

The Alfas seem to be going to either Fiat shops or to Maserati/Ferrari shops.

I will try to hit Lake Forest Sports Cars to see if they have one.

My bad. I thought Hoovey was saying : consider yourself lucky for NOT seeing one -- to Allen K's post.

I'll go enroll myself in a reading comprehension class now.
