If he means 50,000 pounds that could be without taxes (as would the US price be without taxes) and 50,000 pounds is $75k. I think the guys on Top Gear the other night said it would be more than that.

That would be OK IMO. It would then be first time you get "less" and pay less. Usually hard-core road-legal track cars with less are more expensive (Cayman R for example). And the 4C has still "more" than an Elise, which really outdated.

I don't disagree with that, but I'm not sure anything else would be appropriate. It has CF chassis, any better interior would add weight and increase price. Someone buying such a car does not buy it for its expensive interior but for its driving capabilities. I can't say talk about you decisions, nor can my opinion be of any importance for you, but I don't think you bought your 458 for its interior. If it is for it, what I doubt, I honestly think you could find better quality interiors at Audi, Porsche or Lamborghini (Aventador). I mean Italian brands have never been known for the interior quality.

Glad someone else feels this way. This design really does nothing for me.

Low production numbers, and latest pricing info is over $80k - carbon fiber was way more expensive than planned. Wouldn't be surprised if actual US prices are even higher because of tiney supply.

You may think i'm spoiled with quality and such, but actually i'm not. I'm all about having a spartan car. If Ferrari let me i would opt for a much lighter one piece CF dash. In a car that costs as much as a Cayman S, you should be able to have at least a better looking interior (not better made, better looking). The look isn't what i expect from Alfa, the engine isn't that exciting, the DCT only kills it for me, the interior is not nice and the price tag is huge. I don't like to say it but i think this car will be a failure. |

Looks like a Lotus Elise interior. If its going to be barebones I guess its fine.
The design looks so modern it makes you feel as though the interior should have followed suit but I'm okay with it. Any chance this is a Launch Interior only? |

Interesting, it seems to have grown front brake cooling vents from the time it was displayed at Geneva to now:
