    This is apparently what the new Alfa Romeo 149 which goes on sale in 2008 may look like:

    It looks like the love child between a Porsche Cayenne and a 147 imo. :eek: :eek:

    Any opinions?

    I usually like new Alfa shapes, but that's not hectic.

    The lights look gammy.

    It reminded me of this beauty at 1st glance :eek:

    I like it, except for the front lights. Hopefully they won't make it to production

    Chauffe, Marcel, chauffe!


    Don't like the front lights. Will hold judgement until the final version is released

    I think the front light are alright. Design generally looks quite good. I think the worst part is the rear quarter panel which looks like a big expanse of metal and makes the back wheel look tiny.

    I have never been a fan of the 147's styling (esp the post facelift) so would probably prefer the 159.

    I second the cross eyed look. Back looks fine to me, don't have a pic of the back of the Brera handy but looks similar?
