Alfa Romeo Brera: Sweet, sexy thing

This is the first time that the general public can view the award-winning Alfa Brera sports car in right hand drive, before it goes on sale here in early April. Styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro in collaboration with Alfa Romeo Centro Stile, the design of the new Brera remains faithful to the stunning coupe concept first shown at the 2002 Geneva Motor Show. Giugiaro recalls, "When we premiered the car I referred to as ‘very sexy’, I didn’t know if it would ever go beyond the prototype stage. I’m proud to note that the Brera is so obviously an Italian product. Alfa Romeo will never go out of fashion."

However we will not see it here in the States. Let's hope the Spyder makes it here however....

Byung_USA has reached new levels of stupidity!

You are calling the Brera outdated? Yet you still love your American Pushrod-powered, leaf-spring suspended junk?

This is a four-valve-per-cylinder DOHC 3.2 V6.

But you are right, this car will cause major traffic chaos as everyone rubber-necks to admire the stunning beauty of its sheetmetal.

You can't beat Italian design, and you can't beat your stupidity.

I've read a few articles on this car. AR makes beautiful cars, but this car from the side profile has way too long overhangs. Don't really know why, since it's a hatchback...

It's not really a hatchback, it's more of a low-slung coupe, so practical considerations such as short overhangs were unnecessary.

Anyway, if they were any shorter, it may lend the car a 'stubby' profile.
