Long time no hear Stefanel
Sorry If I hurt anyone's feelings, but...
I understand that aggressive promotion and sterile time of present design approach makes vox populi accepts just about anything as "revolutionary" these days.
I find this design, dreadful.
Shape is undefined. Much to aggressive front for Alfa that I like. Entire 156 De Silva shape is already lost with 159 as it is. Aggressive too much, made only to attract sales as most of the designs these days.
Interior is horror to my sight.
There is nothing inside that would communicate proper sense of Italian emotion, but cold and sterile GM vision of Generic sexy cars.
GT is sadly the last present somewhat classical front visage of Alfa, although the end is cold GM bean can look.
Only thing that shines brighter with hope is 8C, this be truly exquisite creation. Unmatched simplicity with beautiful classic presence in modern shape, modern, but timeless.
Considering present design direction of Alfa, I fear in what shape would 8C really enter the real production. Just hope 8C will remain exactly the way it looks now !
As most of you know, when poisonous snake shapes its attack position it shapes her eyes much like the eyes of most of the EU cars front faces. Interesting, because snake eyes look is almost modus operandi for most of the EU cars presently. Being design source for everyone else, that would cover almost everyone else these days.
