Hmmm...the first time I laid eyes on this I thought it was horrendous, but the more I look the more I like. To me the rear reminds me more of a R34 Skyline than a Ferrari, but it certainly is striking.

Should be an interesting package, can't wait to see real life prototype shots.

ROCK ON
R~R

looks like a civic hatchback and a ferrari had babys...

Can't see it being a featured pin up on my garage wall even if it was nuke powered and had magnetic road huging suspension. Somebody at Alfa has spent way too much time in the glue room before they signed off on the concept.

Hey you guys in Alfa world, give us sports cars that look like sports cars not some oversized wedges that double as door stop. There is only so much customer loyalty you can rely on from the past and your number is up.

OK the gloves are on..

Lol it looks like underdeveloped 8C from the front, and the rerar somehow reminds me the latest golf

New cars are, bigger, heavier, pimped-up with all those elecro "no need for drivers' brain" gadgets, more powerful yet slower that's why i love GTV6 and other classics.

Bah!, at least they decided to introduce 8c which is, my God a huge progress.
