That article was apallingly bad.
"All in all, the Evora is a fantastic car, but it is outclassed here today. A year ago we'd have said that nothing can offer the sound, straight line pace and the responsiveness of an Evora for the same money, but we can now recommend a car - the 4C - that achieves this for less money."
So, the conclusion implies that the 4C sounds better than Evora even after they explicitly said earlier in the article that it doesn't.
"I know Alfa have done a great job with their exhaust, but there is nothing they can do about the meaty sound of the Evora's V6. It just sounds better."
And what about this bit?
"Now, I am a BIG Lotus fan and the Evora in white with black alloys was once my favourite looking car money could buy. It isn't any more. The Alfa just looks better and more purposeful."
This is just ridiculous. Both cars are gorgeous and trying to claim that one looks better than the other at a level other than personal preference is silly.
"As noted, the Lotus is a fine car and it still looks great on any driveway. But the 4C is just the better car. It's as simple as that."
Um, no. If nothing else, the 4C fails for not having a manual transmission available--something that the author even acknowledges himself earlier in the article:
"It cannot match the ability of Porsche's PDK and it lacks the involvement of the 6-speed manual you get in the Evora."
And the article mentions nothing about the fact that the Evora is substantially larger car with a semi-useful back seat.
The author should maybe at least try and be objective the next time he sets pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard).
