Is the Alfa Romeo 4C a good investment?

The thesis

The Alfa Romeo 4C is a carbon-tubbed, mid-engined lightweight (895kg) with a turbocharged 1.75L four-cylinder (237bhp). While it offers exotic construction and styling at an accessible price, it does NOT meet the user's manual gearbox criterion—the 4C was only available with a TCT dual-clutch automatic. Despite its driver engagement and collectability potential, the lack of a manual transmission disqualifies it from this brief.
