Journalists talk about how agile and sporty the car feels compared to the lighter F80, so TBD on driving impressions. Maybe it masks the weight well?

Heavy sports cars are typically awful to drive, but maybe the engineering has progressed to compensate.
Some of the Alpha love, I suspect, is due to the steering. Very, very good steering adds a LOT to how engaging a car is to drive. I've also heard the suspension tuning is pretty lights out. The downsides of the Alpha are equally well known.
