While the rear design has stayed true to what we’ve seen recently, this is probably the first time we’re looking at the front. I can’t say I am connecting much with the new retro round lights that the clay model has - similiar to the ones on the Alfa 8c Competizione and the Alfa Romeo Diva Concept.

Could'tn even see the driver's face as it was LHD! To me, the SZ's alfetta platform with its rear gearbox/transaxle, in board disc and de-dion suspension is the last "real" alfa. The recent front drive models are just repackaged fiats. My dream is to own the last alfetta GTV6. raybrig85,
