I like the back view.. not so much on the front.

Here is one quote that caught my fancy:
"The problem with internet quotes is that you may never truly know from whom they originated." - Abraham Lincoln

Spy or per-release concept photos from Fiats design team are one thing but flights of fancy of what Fiat might be doing by various artists are just flights of fancy. One of these artists might get lucky and have Fiat like their concept better than anything their own team has come up with and end hiring them.

Add on top of that the source being AutoExpress. AutoExpress, like AutoBild and all the other country-specific versions of the magazine, is pure junk. Their editorial content is extremely thin* and anything on new releases is pure Photoshopped fabrication to shift copies.

* You often wonder if they even drive half the cars they report on. When AutoBild does manage to do a comparison test, it's mostly a tape measure and company spec sheet review of the cars. They devote about 60% of their pages to advertisement, if not more, and offer truly ground-breaking articles like "Which windshield washer fluid shall I use?" and "60 premium performance tires compared for their list price, rolling diameter and tread pattern" :wink:

If it does have the Alfa 4C engine, that would be a plus, detuned or not.

Will they be smart and price it so a reasonable person would consider buying it?
