Alfa Romeo 8c coming to U.S!
When i first saw the concept pictures, i was blown away, right away i saw this car as the most beautiful car every made.
It was only a dream but if i had some what enough money to afford one, i would, it was that good but i figured it'll never be released in the states, well, i was wrong.
Sadly, its already been sold out

their cars would look beautiful, but their trademark beak ruins all of them. Its like Subaru sticking with the 07 pignose their entire life lol that would be bad!

^ yeah, i think they need different wheels, get rid of nose, and chrome strip around window, and stupid triangle Z3 look.
I will say it has a good stance and wheel proportions to car body. you could hardly fit 3 wheels within its wheelbase i think.

I see that nose having the same problem the Karmann Ghia's did back in the day.. All crushed from hitting stuff..
It honestly almost looks like a Ferrari Dino..

Gad damn that is a beautiful car. It is one of my favorite designs of newer cars. My only problem with it is that I find it harder and harder to get excited about stuff like this - a $250k car that I will never touch. I am getting old, but I would not even notice this if it were parked next to a pristine '72 Mazda RX-3 or a '71 Celica or something.

i think it looks like a roadster should, i like it overall, they just effd up the little things. well the nose is a major thing.
But why would the windsheild have a black outline, and the window have chrome? i hate chrome on new vehicles.
i think the hatas need a better pic
You cant go wrong with round lights in the back. And that aero lip in the rear is beautiful. Those wheels really make it too, the oem 5 cirles are FUGLY
That solstice is so bland, no curves at all, and looks like the top is just a slice of ...something sliced!
check out the knee pad, just begging to be drifted back and forth without waking up with bruises the next day. nice solid design, not extreme at all. I could see it looking good in 30 years.
and whoever cropped those beautiful clouds out needs to be punched lol
