I'm thinking maybe not. I think Ferrari-Maserati-Alfa should hang together as they are now. I think it's helped the brands and the F1 team. If Maser-Alfa splits off from FCA like rumors say, it may be even better. All in all, Masers and Alfas have shared Ferrari engines with just different heads, tuning and cylinders. The price/use brackets still work too as Masers are more GT luxury cars and Alfas are more "eco" sporty. However, the new 8C was more in line with Maser GTs than the old 33 Stradale, but both were pretty exotic. The 70s GTVs are not Maserati-esque and I like having the whole family together under the Scuderia on race day. The Quadrifoglio on the car doesn't hurt either.
I think you are 100% right, but management tries to always go for the top tier instead of using their brains. Alfa in GT at Lemans and Maserati doing whatever WEC ends up being. Ferrari should be allowed to run it's supercars in some form of racing, but the FIA sees otherwise. We need FIA GT1 back The T33 was a built from scratch supercar and the 8C made from a very exotic parts bin, but based on the Gran Turismo chassis.
Cool info. Oh for the days of the Ferrari P cars at lemans. Even the 333 SP open top roadsters wailing around the track Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk

Macgeek was saying the car would be more like a Jaguar F-type. I would like that better than the rather chubby looking two door coupe pictured.
Alfa Giulia coupe coming late next year. Told ja! http://www.autoguide.com/auto-news/2017/09/alfa-romeo-giulia-coupe-expected-for-late-2018.html

Did you notice in the article they refer to a 4c update in a couple of years. Really? I can't imagine they will continue the 4c and this may all be journalist wishful thinking / hyperbole, but...
