Is the spyder a good alternative to an MGB Roadster??

Well an MGB will rust like it's going out of fashion so any Alfa should be a suitable substitute.....:-)

One less Alfa on the roads is one more reason to celebrate i say.

Not at all. Ive never owned an Alfa. But i am blessed with the gift of sight and to me, that "iconic" front of an Alfa is rather disgusting, but what annoys me the most about Alfa Romeo's is the people who buy them. Because they buy a car which is mechanically inferior in every way to even the rest of the things its parent group makes, looks horrible but is dressed up as creativity, passion, individuality and all the other ridiculous buzzwords and cliche's they use, and essentially say they know they've bought a rubbish carbut they bought it for the "Italian soul."

You are correct. And a thoroughly lovely car it is too. Under appreciated is how i'd describe the S Type. A proper car. Unfortunatley with Alfa's they can look nice until you see the front of them. Bang side on they look ok.

Most Alfas look superb from any angle, most so from the front.

With the spectacular exception of the Mito

The best cartoon unhappy face I've ever seen
