Fioravanti to show off Thalia concept in Geneva
Over at the Motor Trend Blog, the fellas have posted on Italian coachbuilder Fioravanti's planned Geneva concept car, the Thalia. Little is known about it, but the released sketch suggests the wagonoid is a combination of "The Homer" and a very aerodynamic Popemobile, with a dash of vintage Amtrak observation car thrown in for good measure. It's motivated by a powertrain of unknown type or origin.
MT posted an excerpt of Fioravanti's incomprehensible press release, which makes no mention of Herb Powell or Powell Motors but is a pretty amusing read nonetheless. We'll have to wait until Autoblog's Geneva crew sees it in person next month to get the rest of the details.

Is it a coupe, a hatch, or a wagon?
None of the above. It's garbage drawn on a napkin. Lose the bubble in the back and it might at least have promise.
