I'll take one.....looks as good as any other estate on the market......but slightly sexier.

Not that popular then..........I'm still liking it....I would have one as an everyday car at the drop of a hat with a Stradale in the garage as well.......

Not able to read Italian...but does that say at the end of the vid..."This is what we had to throw away to create a car for the US market"...?

I'll take an Alfa with a Ferrari engine every day of the week.

Better than the sh1te washing machine motor in my current ride!

Hmmm..................

View attachment 29812

The body and the front of the car dont match. if you put your hand over the picture above and cover everything from the windscreen back so you can just see the bonnent and face of the car.

1. You expect a car the size and style of a Z3 to have that front end.
2. It looks like a cat fish face from that angle or sad trout.
3. The way the bonnet / front wings meet the rest of the car seems to be about 10-15 degrees out. Its almost as though the sub frame has cracked and colapsed across the width of the car just in front of the drivers door.

Having said all that i think it looks better in sport wagon guise at the moment. I just hope the saloon and SW grow on me more when i see one in the metal.

I think it will look probably look better when you get up close to it rather than pictures.......This for me looks like an Alfa and is a great looking car....If it was a choice between this 500bhp monster and a Ghibli I think I would go for the Alfa. I really like the front end and think it looks better than the current range......Funny how we all see something different.

Here is the presentation in English, I have warmed to it ever so slightly but still can't get past the Germaness, even the Interior follows on in that vein. It does appear though that what is underneath is very, very good, shame they fumbled the bit you would expect Alfa to get right:

That red looks lovely and the car in the video sounds lovely to...I really like it...Listening to what this car has I have no doubt it will be very, very good........Just fell that it will give the Ghibli a bloody nose.

Yep, would imagine the Alfa wouldn't be far off that...Just reading the hardware the car has it will not be cheap.....
