Am I the only one who thinks the rear spoiler, trunk and tails look silly? Otherwise, yes, very attractive.

Nope. As I mentioned above, the cutout below the trunk and the tail lights look very strange. Like a cross-eyed storm trooper with a cleft palate. So, no white.
Yup, I felt kind of let down. We basically get a less aggressive looking ATS-V update with a nicer interior. A base price of 60K, stretching with options to 75K just isn't in the cards for me--especially with my office likely closing and the prospect of permanent work-from-home on the horizon. I can't justify that cost for a car I'm going to drive a couple thousand miles a year.
Sounds like you could manage with a functional project car. One that won't be down for weeks at a time, and can putt around town on errands no problem. I'd love to be able to do this but Fort Wayne roads will kill anything with a low/stiff suspension.
When I "graduate" from my G I'd hope to have enough $$$ for a dedicated driving car (not sports car as I still want some level of comfort...well maybe a P car could do both), as well as a cruiser (Chevy ss) for family or when I want a relaxing drive and don't mind feeling big. Short of that it's a giulia (quad would be nice but Ti fine), g70 if I can't handle the italian-ness of dealers and parts availability for the Alfa.
Big news: I finally bought a new vehicle and looking at the pictures below it should be just as big a shock to you as it was to me. I guess I was missing not having AWD in my car and I may have overshot it a bit. So I was at our Jeep store picking up a used vehicle for a guest of mine when I turned the corner and saw this black Jeep Gladiator that just looked so aggressive and cool. A few days later on my day off I went back to the store to try it out mainly just to cross it off my list. It had been a long time since I drove a Jeep with big tires and it was a garbage ride with a cheap plastic interior. Needless to say, I was not expecting greatness.
I was shocked at how much better the interior was, how much tech it had, and how it felt like I was driving a solid tank (in a good way). I later found out that the interior won an award for one of Ward's 10 Best. Then I started thinking about how much better it would be in the snow, how practical it would be for hauling things, and how cool it would be to remove some or all of the roof in the summer. I also started thinking about how I would modify it a bit like I do with all of my cars, although not nearly as much because I do not see myself becoming a hardcore off-roader. In fact, my first mod is new tires and wheels that will be better in the snow than the big mud tires. I am excited to see how they look. I pick it up next week.
I think I was also just fed up with waiting for the next great performance car and just being disappointed again and again. This is definitely something different so it feeds that need. My wife thought the Jeep looked awesome but said she was shocked that I did not buy a sports car. I told that it was definitely not a sports car, but it can easily tow one...
This also means that I will probably be selling my G37 soon. So if you are interested or know anyone in the market for an extremely clean, low mileage, G that is a good daily driver and an amazingly capable track car with over $20,000 in tasteful mods, please let me know.

I haven't been this shocked since the Texans took Mario Williams over Reggie Bush LOL. Definitely an interesting change of events but glad you found something.
I got a great deal on mine but the circumstances were the perfect scenario. The right buyer will see the value in the modifications and care and pay a premium; especially for a 6MT Sedan. Before I found a replacement, I searched nationwide for a 6MT Sedan and only popped one result. Ask was 15k+ w/ 70k miles and an accident on record.
