Man, that's hot. And you know what makes the retro concept car work so well in this case? The tires. They gave it some real tires, not little rubber bands wrapped around giant metal. It's a good look on something that does harken back on those widebody 3 box coupes in an interesting twist.

OTOH the aero on those wheel wells is atrocious :-).

But a 2-seater is a hard sell in the US. As much as I'd personally prefer this for a commuter, they should look at extending it a bit and at least making a 2+2 coupe. Not what I want, but what the US will buy...

Also: should they ever make it into production, I can easily see a trademark lawsuit from FCA over the name "Alpha."
