Default Alfa "Milano" pics

Milano

I'm waiting until I see more on this, but I really hope Alfa aren't going to go the same way as Lancia with their designs.

It looks okay in a generic way - bit like a Seat or Mazda 3. Handling will probably be disappointing as well.

I agree; the 159 is one of the few good-looking modern cars.

Unfortunately, pedestrian safety regs have meant that all new cars have to have what is in effect a giant glans on the front.

The Toyota Auris is a good example and the Acura TL shows there is an alternative, but it's not actually any better.

The FIAT Bravo seems to integrate the shape superbly and is probably the best-looking C-segment car at present. If thats as good as it gets...
