I think the front looks great! Alfa has been bold and daring at the same time keeping tradition The bumper sills & air intakes are nicely sculpted giving it an aggressive sporting look. The rear lights are great! In my opinion, it will go top of it’s class for looks and design, only the Audi A3 and BMW 1 series coupe come close! To all those criticisers, Let’s be honest it’s far more intriguing, sophisticated, characterful, exclusive and more importantly much much better engines than all the other trash tin can rivals!!

Looks like a good platform, but like all hatches, it took a few wacks from the ugly stick.

So now I know what a $25,000 Dodge Caliber will look like.

I’m just talking front end, Blakkarr. The rest of it is pretty nice.

beatusmongous,

Everything but that weirdly protruding grill is to my liking. It is hardly as awful as an Edsel, the rest of this car makes up for that grill.

Alfa has shown nothing interesting since the ’60’s. This car has the cool alfa triangle design with nothing else to support it.

Sad but true, the Edsel front end is more becoming than this front end.

Ummmm, yes it is, OBJECTIVELY. Your subjective opinion doesn’t matter in the real world. It’s garbage like this that litters the roads I drive. I’ll wait for this parrot of a car to squawk instead of horn honking.

What a failure in automotive design … FACT.

Umm, Impulsive, it’s not.

Like rds130 said, it’s quite well integrated, and the flowy design is really great.

I personally love the MiTo and the new designs of Alfa-Romeo.

LOSE THE BEAK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dear Lord, what a disaster.

You beat me to it, ‘johnny’, but it can’t be stated enough … this is the WORST front end in the automotive world … absolute WORST … even worse than ANY Chinese design and that’s saying a lot.

My lovely city’s baseball team mascot Fredbird has a car designed just for him!

Well I was wondering that too CarCzar… but it says “Enthusiast” and not “Employee”… so maybe he just signed his own restraining order?

You can see the Bravo in pic #2, but otherwise, this is far better proportioned than the MiTo. The MiTo’s front end is just awkward. This is pretty well integrated.

Looks like someone may have signed their own pink slip.
