Title: European car retro stytling
Post by: SFRT - Frenchy on September 01, 2006, 06:10:53 PM
Something a little different.

This 8C competizione looks pretty cool. Alpha usually have a cool front, but sucky rear end. This one looks well proportioned, recalls the Euro sport compact from the 60s (Cortina rear's comes to mind), got the A line of the modern aston martins/ jaguars that I like. I guess I'm going to have to buy a plane ticket for Europe ... and a shipping crate.:)

I would rather an interior more along the lines of this other Alpha concept:

As noodle extensions go, that one isn't bad. ;)

its spelled alfa, and when we were a alfa dealer the little pieces kept falling off the cars, ran nice when they were running, sorta like jaguar.

also worked for a jag dealer, a jag factory rep said to me ( in proper english accent)  "jaguar crank seals do not leak, they weep".

You are right Johny, it's Alfa :)  My grand'ma owned 4 before she switched to beemer, never had a problem with one. God knows she loved those curvy mountain roads ... grand'ma rocked!

how much are they? quite nice but i would rather have a new jag xk or a baby aston.  Guessing they are probably around the same price

The profile reminds me of that opel copy of a corvette.

The front end looks a bit like the vette, but that's as far as the similarities go, a smurfy car.
