>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... Yes indeedy, and that's why I'm still in love with the Milano after all this time. It refuses to suck up to anyone's idea of pretty, and derives its entire set of /bella figura/ chops from exactly that. Some Alfas are just flat easy to like; the Giulietta Sprint flows delicately to mind, and I'd love to have one, but yet I'd rather have a Zagato Junior given the chance. And don't even get me started on those 116 Zagatos! So bad, so bold, so brutally elegant. Yes, it looks like a demonically possessed giant steam iron, and apparently their build quality makes a Yugo seem like a bank vault by comparison, but DAMN I want one.
