    Looks like a 159 with an A4 arse (and no, that's not a good thing). They should have christened the 156 the Giulia IMO.

    +1 one. A4 arse... Lol

    Nothing major improved on the bodylines over the 159, not that there was anything wrong with it, but it just looks like a photoshop 159.

    Screams of A4. No wait. Sighs of A4. Sigh.

    Nice alloys.

    Does anyone know, is it going to be RWD?

    At a glance it kind of looks like the last model of the Laguna.

    Very disappointing tbh, none of the originality of it's predecessors.

    Could have posted a 156 for the same effect tbh.

    I'd wager this is an AutoExpress-like guess in the dark:rolleyes:

    Very 159-like but I still think it looks great though. If they follow this theme instead of the bug-eyed MiTo look I'd consider it.

    There are talks about it..They are considering it, so Alfa say...

    Silver is nice but It would have to be black for me...Not too different on the front...I like the new controls for the heater etc...

    Looks like a heavily facelifted 159 which would suggest that it is retaining fwd or awd (GTA). If they were going to redesign the chassis for rwd drive then surely they would design the exterior and cabin from scratch too.

    Sum's up my thoughts pretty much. Though you could substitute C5 for A4 too.

    first impressions, I don't like it. The 159 is still fresh and is not needing replacement any time soon.
    Although it might help bring down the price of the 159 ... :D

    Lads would ye calm the feck down!

    There's loads of speculative pics of the 159 successor around at the moment. Before ye start lambasting the rather elegant 159-alike car in the OP's post take a look a this:
    http://www.auto-a-holic.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/alfa-romeo-giulia.jpg

    Prefer that would you?:rolleyes::D

    The Guila will be very different to either pic I'd wager and I hope it's closer to the pic at the top of this post than that monstrosity.

    If Volvo hold their nerve with the next 3-series-sized S60 though it may scoop the beaty award for medium-sized saloons:
