they really do look similar with the same greenhouse, doors, hood, etc... basically the nose is longer on the bialbero although i've seen a few simcas with long noses also. I made the mistake of calling merkels car a simca once and he corrected me immediately.
heres a few bialbero off the net

I prefer the later 2000 simcas corsa's aggresive looking wider flares and rear wheel and stub nose with cooling ducts
