She loves it, it's been reliable and there's no sign of rust.  If the 159's lines are spoilt by nasty US-spec bumpers then surely it wouldn't be impossible to ship some Euro-spec bumper skins over?  Hope you get the full range and not just the V6's though. The twin-spark engines are that bit lighter giving a better balance and sharper handling.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tim C]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2006 5:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Alfa Romeo to hit U.S. will be 8c Competizione!]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/24/first-alfa-romeo-to-hit-u-s-will-be-8c-competizione/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/24/first-alfa-romeo-to-hit-u-s-will-be-8c-competizione/</guid><description><![CDATA[Bad idea.  This is a beautiful car, but Alfa has a stable full of beautiful cars and each of these they sell is a money loser for them.  They need to conserve their cash so they can invest it in the dealer/service network.  That's where people are concerned.<br><br>And if you think a halo car moves cheaper units, ask a Chevy dealer how many Corvette tire-kickers drive away in a Cobalt.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[bobdobbs]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 24th 2006 6:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Alfa Romeo to hit U.S. will be 8c Competizione!]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/24/first-alfa-romeo-to-hit-u-s-will-be-8c-competizione/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/24/first-alfa-romeo-to-hit-u-s-will-be-8c-competizione/</guid><description><![CDATA[Yeah, but... with looks like that, Alfa could name its price, at least on the 8C. <br><br>$450,000?

And between the 8c Competizione, 8c Spider, Brera and the Brera Spider, not to mention the proposed Trofeo Sport Coupe, Alfa Romeo could be in a position to offer the most exciting car line in the USA.

I never had any problems with  my 145, 147, 156 or my current GT, I love the Alfa designs for simple, classic, sexy and anti-Bangle elegance, but I do have real problems with the 8c Competizione: I'm fairly sure I won't be able to afford one! But at least I can get to see some, if I hang around on street corners in Cap Ferrat or Monaco.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Joe]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 25th 2006 4:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First Alfa Romeo to hit U.S. will be 8c Competizione!]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/24/first-alfa-romeo-to-hit-u-s-will-be-8c-competizione/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/07/24/first-alfa-romeo-to-hit-u-s-will-be-8c-competizione/</guid><description><![CDATA[Introducing this car first, to the extend the line-up with the remaining models, is a smart move.
