I'm sure the 2.0t is a lot more reliable than the Quadrifoglio though, and a 2 year lease could be very interesting...
I think before I became a dad with dad thinking, I would have been willing to chance the Alfa, same as I was willing to chance the Cadillac ATS. I never did either because both seem to be too good at one specific thing, granted that one thing is why many of us became BMW enthusiasts in the first place! Definitely curious on your thoughts on the Quad if you ever give it a shot!
I don't plan on buying it, but I'll probably test drive a Quadrifoglio this weekend, and stop by Mercedes and BMW for some second test drives.
