Remains to be seen...I predict it will be get alot of buzz out of the gate. People like new and different, just remains to be seen if Alfa can deliver a passable dealer experience for a $70k+ purchase. Lease terms for the performance model will likely suck but probably won't matter unless they build enough to outstrip early demand.

I think the base model is largely a bore in the same way the base Jag XE is. If we can park our prejudices for a couple seconds you could argue that the Stinger is a better looking base design. Certainly not saying it's a better car.
