My Opinion?
This is the best looking car since the 250GTO and GT40MKII.

It is definitly one of the most stunningly gorgeous automobiles I have ever seen pictured.
It has purebred characteristics..look at those rear fender wells.
Hope I live to at least see one up close and personal; own one?, I can only dream.

Sure, the rest of the body looks nice, but the front grille reminds me of the Subaru Impreza. Alfa purists might cry foul and say Subaru copied Alfa, but I say both grilles look bad, in a bad way.

This car kind of bugs me actually, only because it is so close to perfect. The body of the car is phenomenal but they tacked a horrible grille on the front of it and the quarter panel vents look tacky as well. They were almost there, just a little bit more restraint. Whats impressive is that it is still great to look at, though I prefer the photos where you can't see the front!

#5,

that grill is beautiful, together with the body. Notice how the grill leads to the beautifull hood lines
i can't even describe how i feel right now

Only the quarter panel bugs me a bit, and the wheels look kinda funny in some of the pictures. Still, this car is stunning. I'd definitely say it's one of, if not the most, gorgeous car I've ever seen.

Does anyone know when it's coming out in the states, and how much will it be?

The car is masterpiece. To say that the grille is anything but beautiful is absurd! To take change the 3 piece design would be a slap in the face to the legendary house of Pininfarina. The headlamps look a bit "bubbly" but im sure there gorgeous in person. My only true complaint in the wheel choice. They look as though they were lifted from a new GTi.

very nice but to be honest it doesn't look better than a Corvette,those who claim it is the most beautiful car in the world are blind and don't know the existance of real beauties as Viper,Ford GT or BMW Z8

The Subaru grill just looks dorky, on this car, the grill is elemental to the design and gives the car it's character.

The BMW Z8 was a joke attamept to replicate the 507's looks into a Miata package. The Viper SRT-10 lost the original Viper's beauty. The C6 looks just like the C5, mixed in with a 575M. The 8C is stunning. I just wish Ferrari and Maserati could do more to improve their designs.
