It reminds me of Gonzo from the Muppets. The one with a ***** for a nose.

Damn. I was gonna post that.

I guess with the popularily of "internet speak" it's not a terrible idea to base the design off of something most young buyers can relate to.

Yet another sub 2-liter turbo 3-door econobox that puts out well north of 200hp. When is GM going to wake up? The production Spark has two-doors too many!

You know, outside of that beak up front, that car is actually pretty frigging hot!

If Chrysler got it via Fiat, they would no doubt put their own body on it, but save the front end, I would say they should leave the styling alone.



Oh, and by the way, Caps, you damn near made the waffle I was eating go up my nose with those 2 pictures together.

If the Fiat-Chrysler thing happens, the thinking is that Alfas will be sold as Afas, but Chrysler has access to those platforms to do their own cars as well.

And that grill is all Alfa Romeo. You either get it or you don't get it.
