Over the course of a week spent visiting with the 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C Spider (aka “Uncle Romeo”) in Austin, Texas, I learned many things.

You don’t rationalize the Alfa Romeo 4C with your brain, you rationalize it with your heart. In a segment where perfection exists in the Porsche Cayman or Boxster, it’s hard to wonder why you’d pick anything else?

As gorgeous and warm weather-friendly as the Alfa Romeo 4C Spider is, it brings to mind its big brother, the V8-powered 8C.

Whether you love them or hate them, the Fast & Furious movies have plenty of car chases and stunts in them for us gearheads.

We first told you about the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C Spider way back in January. Today, we bring you word of the open-top Italian’s pricing: $65,495.

The 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C taught me that even once you have an Italian sports car that costs $69,945, you have to keep working. It made me earn almost everything I wanted from it, but, ultimately, it rewarded me for my efforts.

As far as I’m concerned, there’s only one good type of spider in this world: the automotive kind. Alfa Romeo is set to increase the amount of that sort of arachnid with its 2015 4C Spider.
