Artega GT

HSV Grange
Available: Australia
A full-size luxury sedan, the Grange is Australia's answer to BMW's 740i or Audi's S8. Its clean lines, LED tail lights, and understated spoiler are powerful but not flashy.

Lotus Europa S
Designer: Russell Carr
Available: Europe
This is one of the few Lotus models not to make it to the U.S. With its stealth side air intakes, low overall height, large rims, and concave hood, the sports car reeks of speed.

Peugeot RCZ
Available: Europe
For a two-door family coupe, the RCZ is a mean-looking machine. Exaggerated fenders, a hefty grill, menacing headlights, and a sleek roof give the notion that no matter who's in the car, it will burn rubber.

Designer: Luc Donckerwolke

With growing eco-concern comes this supermini, which gets anywhere from 60 to 80 mpg from its three-cylinder diesel engine. The car's design eliminates drag with special tires, closed hubcaps, and a closed grill.
Looks like a Kia

This four-door luxury sedan draws from the design languages of classic European and German cars. The minimal lines, traditional grill and headlights, and flat trunk project a tasteful conservatism fit for an executive.
Looks like a Buick 4 door sedan.

The scirocco Lives again!
Volkswagen Scirocco
Designer: Giorgetto Giugiaro
Available: Europe
The first-generation Scirocco was sold in the U.S. in the 1970s, but there are no plans to bring this version to America. The two-door hatchback includes typical VW design details, but has a punchy, angular front-end and a low, streamlined roof

Wiesmann GT MF5
Available: Europe
From the triple-curved hood to the distinctive spoiler, this car is certainly eye-catching. The large front end, oversize wheels, and cockpit-like driver's area make this beauty seem as if it's in constant motion.
If a Jag and a Bently had babies.

Seeing cars like this gives me some hope that Fiat (who owns Alfa) won't turn Chrysler into a manufacturer of crackerbox commuter booths.
Post by: Alfa Seltzer on November 08, 2009, 09:14:45 pm
The platform current Alfas are built off of was codeveloped with GM. New Alfa engines use GM blocks. The four cylinders are based off of the Ecotec and the V6 is based off of the HFV6.
What will be interesting is going into your local Chrysler/Fiat dealership and buying a car that is half GM.
