Nice.
Is that the longest-ever car name badge? If not it's gotta get a prize for
the most T's.
I like it 'cause something doesn't look quite right. I felt the same the
first time I saw an Alfetta coupe, and a Duetto. Fell in love with, and
have owned both.
I think you need a design with something you can't quite work out. It makes
you turn back to take another look EVERY time you park it ;-) Some would
say that's when design becomes art....
It certainly looks to be a design that could be pressed, unchanged, in to
production. I wonder what it looks like with the roof in place.
I loved my 105 and 164 sedans for different reasons. Initially they look to
be relatively straightforward designs, but you soon find many subtle (and
moorish) artistic design aspects.
Of course the real test is how does it feel to wax the paintwork with your
eyes closed?

Subject: [alfa] Pininfarina concept at Geneva
I assume many (or most) of you have heard about this by now, but
in case you haven't, or just want more, here's a link with a bunch of
pictures:

My 2 cents: it's gorgeous and represents a new design language that other
(lesser) designers will be stealing from for years. The
rear ends on Bangle's Bimmers look even worse when you see what someone
with real talent and vision can do.
Ciao tutti,
