That's probably true. Except lately. Good luck finding a cheap 4C or Giulia QV here.
The ergonomics: guilty as charged. Alfas are built for people who have the anatomy of an orangutan. I am not kidding. You need short legs and freakishly long arms to be comfortable.
Another complaint I've heard of Alfas is ergonomics sacrificed for looks, which is kind of a deal breaker for me.
