    My hope is they went with the flat crank and its not a dead ringer for the GranSport exhaust, but this video doesn't give me too much hope. Not that I don't like the sound of a Maserati, but I feel this car deserves more of an exotic sound than the Maserat's more american car muscle sound.

    ...the video has a horrible quality, the sound is like Britney Spears without playback and the car can only be heared when out of gear - so, what you are expecting??? The Alfa will be fantastic! (You guyzzz always have something to critizise - even when you never will get a chance to drive or to "feel" those cars!!).

    Ciao!

    I remember when I was young lad lucky to see one exotic a year. I remember reading magazines and hanging on every word of the writer as they described the sound of the exhaust and then when finally seeing one in the flesh and hearing it, never did it live up to the expectations, because they were so high to begin with. This modern classic deserves the sound to go along with it, thats all I'm saying, of course it will be a great car and of course the exhaust does not make a car, but its all a part of the lore. Its like having an Enzo and it sounding like a Camaro, the package is left incomplete.

    I love this car. I thought it was small. But seeing it next to a VX220 shows how big it is.
