Saw one in Graypaul Nottingham

[isuk]

I was at Graypaul on Sunday to have a look at a Scuderia and noticed a red 8C in their workshop so I asked about it. It's apparently had numerous faults from day one including water ingress to the cabin and the interior had been partially stripped out to try and trace the source of the problem. I hope they sort it out for the owner as I wouldn't be happy if I was them.

as a future 8c owner (hopefully)

i think i'm in love ..

Bummer

[dpat]

good to hear it's not just the 'other' models Alfa saves all the problems for

No better put together than the rest of them !!

[BigFoot]

Actually Alfa doesn't make this car

[howell811]

Still Italian !!

It's built by Maserati but the low volume production means that rigorous pre-launch testing can't be done to the same level as a mass produced car. Bit of a shame as it looked stunning to my eyes but my other half thought it looked awful. She said the short tail reminded her of a Z4 coupe and thought the front was hideous The Scuderia was given a big thumbs up though (as long as it's not red!).

my other half thinks the 599 looks better than the granturismo .. i think she's a brand victim !!!

Funnily enough mine thinks my GranTurismo looks miles more elegant than the 599 She thought the best looking car in the dealership was a Grigio Granito GranTurismo S with bordeaux interior and graphite alloys. I have to say it did look rather stunning
