Two door 60s roadster. Very pretty. A head turner for all the right reasons.

Sub Zero
 
Classic Alfa roadster.

Would be SZ if the front would look a tiny bit better. It's proportions don't look as great as they could do.

But seriously cool anyway.
 
Beautiful, simply beautiful (especially without those pesky rubber bumpers). This is what a classic Alfa Romeo is all about; a simple, fun car that always puts a smile on your face. In this Spider, the speed from A to B is not what counts, that is how much fun the ride from A to B is. And in an Alfa, it can be very fun indeed.

And who can forget this:


(You don't have to watch the whole thing, but you should. Just saying.)

It's the fridge for the Duetto, not ashamed of saying that.

I must be in the small minority that doesn't care for the Duetto. Or any of the later Spiders that inherited the same basic shape. A shape that screams E-Type with a lower hipline. It's simply never appealed to me.

I am sane enough to acknowledge how cool the Duetto is, however.

Cool.
 
Just a cool from me. Pretty, but a little bland, and the front looks off somehow.
 
I mean, it's cool, certainly. But I never really cared for the really early Duettos.
 
Classic 60's Alfa Sports Roadster - What's not to like?

Easy Sub Zero
 
This early boat-tail was always a better looker than the latter kamm-tailed ones. The screen was just a touch too upright for it's shape though. Cool.
 
It's an Alfa. Not to mention all the references to The Graduate.

Uncool.
 
It's HOT!

But SPD, you voted Su..

SHADDUP, STILL HOT!
 
doot, do-doot, doot-doot, do-doot-do, doot-doot-do-doot-doot...

Sub-zero. Cougars. Banging on church windows. All that jazz.

Damn it. Now you're making me want to watch The Graduate again. :lol:
 
Cool. It's classic Alfa. Simple, not too fussy about details, decent power, weight distribution, and douchebags forget its existence because from their point of view, the answer is Miata.
 
Simply doesn't tick any boxes for me.
 
Yes...

... Yes...!

YES!

YES!!!!

Yes!!!

I've never heard of that movie and I still think this is cool.
 
Very close to the top of my list of 'want'. Effortlessly classy, completely un-obnoxious and very, very pretty.
 
This is one of those cars that when you see the poll results, you cock your head sideways and think, "Who the **** voted uncool?"

This car is the ultimate vehicle for going on drives in. It's not cool because it's an Alfa; I've never understood why Alfas are automatically cool for some people. I think most of them are ugly because of the triangle, but the original Spider is beautiful. Easily one of the best-designed cars of the 60's. I don't see why The Graduate would make it uncool, that's an excellent movie.

Sub-Zero.

But please don't retro-design the new one to look like it.
 
Beautiful + Italian + 1960s + fun to drive = SZ.
 
I'm not sure why I voted Uncool. I do like most if not every iteration of the Spider, but can't see it as a Cool car.
 
Cool. I'd stop and look at it.
 
Ball-achingly beautiful to look at.

Ball-achingly unreliable to own and maintain, I would imagine, but a SZ nevertheless.

Get the same thrills with an NA MX5 for a fraction of the pain.
 
You're going to be the talk around car enthusiasts if they see you driving this. It turns heads and draws alot of attention for many, MANY good reasons.

Sub-Zero.
 
Sub-Zero. No questions asked. I see no need for an explanation.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if this made it to the Ice Box.
 
Top Speed: Over 500 SPH*

*Smiles per hour.
