Well, I haven't seen that before. I think it looks great. Thanks for posting \:D

I'd like to see it in Sprint Blue though!

Let's hope they build it.

I really like that. \:#

I just think the rear pillar doesnt quite sit right, and I dont like the front indicators.

\:# \:# Though it looks like rear view will make it even harder to place the arse when reversing than with the old Coupé. Or is that just me in touch with my feminine side

you'd think theyd at least have a passing nod to its predecessors...maybe the fuel cap or slashes???

There is a kind of curved slash down the side...

I'd like to see the interior.

Ooh thats very nice. I really love how the back is so high and it looks so aggressive.

Well its obviosuly a very early design with little practical consideration.

Door pillars are all wrong, rear windscreen would be unusable, and the boot would be terrible.

The only good things i can see are that they have made homages to the old coupe eg. Slashes, rear lights, handle-free doors.

I think it looks great but perhaps the front-on view isn't finished yet. Tons of cues from the old Coupe IMO.

Are they really going to build it? Surely they'd stick an Alfa badge on a car that competes with AUDI, BMW etc?

Also notice the very 'Bangle' headlight shape. Overall it reminds me more of the Brera than our Coop.

I wouldnt have thought it would be made an Alfa. Alfa already have a coupe which is more sought after than recent ferraris, in the 8C.

I think the entire Fiat brand is trying to go slightly more upmarket with Alfa pushing into the prestige market, the 500 bringing the class back into the small car market, and now the new fiat Coupe.

Looks gross! Just what I thought of the original Coop, so I should love it if I ever get one.

So what's so special about direct gasline injection?

Mmmm...it's OK but if I had one I'd lower it and put some different, bigger wheels on. Oh, and a spoiler would look good on the back and one of those front spoilers like off a 360.....and some sideskirts too. Then it would look proper

Hmmm...not sold on that...back is nice (sorta Alfa GT-ish), front is hideous and far too elaborate.

i think the shape resembles the new honda civic too much on one of the photos and if the top half was a little higher, especially the back if you imagine a spoiler in the middle of the rear windscreen

I seriously doubt that this model was made by fiat guys. 3d model quality is medium level and it looks semi-finished. I`ve never seen any official 3d models that were rendered on brick (or any other texturized) background. Also there are some design issues.. I`m sure that it was made by an amateur fan. Good work though.
Well, I can send this Peugeot pic http://www.ngspawn.jino-net.ru/18.htm to car magazin and tell them it`s peugeot`s new prototype) Though it`s my design and 3d model :-[

I see what you mean. It looks like a Fiat. Isn't the 8C a Maserati with Alfa body panels? I'd think GT and Brera are closer.

It doesn't make too much sense though. The Coupe would drive rings round the less pretty, thirstier, slower, less commodious GTV when it was dropped. Presumably the badge was making the GTV more profitable?

Don't like that at all. Looks boring and bland. The new Peugot concept car which looks TT like is far more exciting and modern \:\(

imo they shouldnt go for a modern design. They should go beyond that so the looks stay on for the next 10 - 20 years.

No Sir - I don't like it. \:\( Not a fan on the new direction of these small Coupe type cars e.g. the new Scirocco. Call me a traditionalist/old fart, but I prefer older cars i.e. my Coupe, than the new similarly styled eurocoupeboxes (I know it's all to do with safety/pedestrians/environmental type b0ll0X), but I'm not sold on this direction (yet). Give me retro designs any day (i.e. current crop of American muscle cars, Fiat 500/new MINI/new Beetle etc).

I'll keep running mine while I can, and wait until I can afford a Brera. \:#
