I don't see myself replacing my 159 with one of these. :P

Vomit
Stonechips galore !
It looks like an Alfa Romeo Bug Eye Sprite, not the successor to the stylish & elegant 159
Nor worthy of the Giulia name ?? Looks a bit ho hum. I guess that is a part of the problem with modern car design, they all look basically the same. In a way that is why the 156 was such a good design, it wasn't and presented such a balanced design.
I for one would rather that the Alfa designers had given more consideration to the importance of producing something really special and worthy of this great name.
Hold your fire guys, it's just a designer employed by some magazine having a guess. If these guys were good they'd be working for a car company, not for a magazine.
I'd say the chances are small the next large alfa is going to inherit the design features of the current small alfa, it's usually the other way around.
Remember this is not an officially released photo from Alfa. It is someone's artistic (not very) impression of what the future Giulia may look like.
Here are some others to dwell over.

:D All of them almost completely different. Only one of them can be right.
Goodpoint K76, I would sack the magazine artist and go for the proper designer ! ;D Thanks for posting all the other images Marco (aka biggus), good to see that there are a range of options on the table. Hopefully the end result will be sub Zero, or even in the Fridge. Now that would be worthy of the Giulia name ;D
It's a 159 with a MiTo nose on it, I think it might have looked better if they used the 8C's nose instead.
