Looks pretty good from the front, not so good from the rear.
Need to see it in the metal...

Yea the rear looks like a BMW and Civic hooked up.  But it may look better IRL.

The two article are showing different designs for the rear end.

The OP article:


And the most article:



The first rear is boobies.   [thumbsup]

The second is  [puke].

So which is the real one?

Or is this all PhotoShop fantasy?

The top one I got from an reliable auto website. I'm hoping that is the real one.  I will make a judgement after it is put up on the company website.

If you google the name, most of the new articles on webpages point to the nice looking rear.

It is gorgeous, and gives me a burning sensation when I pee.  I really hope that it is the one from the OP.

The version with the 8c front and rear treatment looks better. Prob I have is that the front is too much a direct copy of the 8c.

i have had guys reach back and grab my crotch in an attempt to get around me. i'll either blow in their ear or ask them politely to let go of my wang.

I don't see why this is a problem; the 8C is sexy!!!   [evil]

No doubt! Damn sexy! I don't want a little copycat Alfa running around stealing all the sexy and making it commonplace.

the 149 is missing the nice big curves over the wheel wells though. 

and the bonnet is angled more upward on the 149, where as it is flatter on the C8.



I won't argue that the C8 is sexier.   [evil]  [bow_down]

I think it looks a lot like a Mazda 3 with an Alfa tweaked front end.

there was going to be something humorous here, but, unfortunately, i was in charge of the typing, and this is all i could come up with.

I like it much better than the current 147. If you hate that rear check out the Megane: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7a/Renault-Megane-IMG_1907.jpg

God I hate that car every time I see it. GF threatens to purchase one - I think mostly to annoy me.
