I like it. I like every angle of it. It'd be nice to pull my GTV in that.

Nicest SUV on the road if it ever mades into production without big changes.
And I am quite sure it's heading to the States, car companies nowaday won't do a production like concept car until it will be made into production. And I don't think Alfa will sell much of it in Europe.

Thumbs up Alfa!!!
Ths side view is just awesome.

Are those real images or are they 3D renderings?

Eitheir way that car is looking nice. Very Nice!

I can picture my wife cruzin around town with the kids in that. As for me I'll stick to '74 and back. Call me old fashioned.

Simon,

Those are official press photos from FIAT. I am sure they have been touched up a bit but they not an "Artist's Rendering" or Photoshop creation.

Nice looking car, I think more and more companies are building sport wagons and maybe coming out of the full size SUV.

I agree the market is shifting to sport wagons. By the time this thing gets here, nobody is gonna want one. This thing should have been here a few years ago!

I think the major reason car companies are manufacturing these sport suv's, such as Porsche, Alfa etc. because they need cars that will sell, and that's a type of car a consumer is looking for. Basically keep's the company in business. I think Porshce would've branched up with another car company if it was'nt for the boxster. I have not been to europe in a while, but I think these sport utility vehicle's are fairly new to them, mostly buses (vans) and wagons.

Wow, which one do I like better? By the way look at the girl's chest, her rib's are molded into the Alfa Grill, that's love!

The front view makes the headlights look like they come off of a Jaguar or Aston Martin.

A good lookin' 'ute indeed.

i have to say it, i don`t like the sprint 156 concept, the C pilar is out of place, i just hope they can do something before it goes out to the production line.
