The spider of the future as seen by Pininfarina. To mark its 80th anniversary, Pininfarina proposes an open Alfa Romeo that is exciting and a delight to drive.

"Overall household indebtedness is up from $7 trillion to almost $10 trillion since 2000. On this sum, we estimate, the American consumer has an annual interest bill of more than $500 billion; a sum, by the way, that vastly exceeds his current income growth." —Kurt Richebacher
"The Greek offer is not sufficient and they have to go away to come up with a revised plan," said a spokesman for the German Finance Ministry. The Greeks must first have a plan that satisfies the Germans which this comment states they clearly don't yet and then the Greek Parliament will vote on it this weekend. This said, whatever package gets voted on in Greece is basically an up or down vote on euro membership so we are entering another uncertain weekend for global markets. A failed vote will likely lead to a hard default which may be what...

Wow, that is one beautiful car. I wonder what it would eventually cost?

nice shape, looks like another “concept”-car that will never make it to the Production Lines..
from: “..Pininfarina proposes an open Alfa Romeo that is exciting and a delight to drive..”
operative: proposes
~~~
BR: Its a concept that is expected to be made.

Amazing how the entire world is catering to a very few who can afford to own so much.
But that is one hot car. I wonder if chicks will dig it :D?

I have a current model Spyder. It wasn’t that expensive (half what a Porsche would cost). They’re more about looks than performance, but still really fun to drive. And it has yet to break down — after a whole, entire year!

I’m sure it makes me a rube, but that looks a lot like a red Saturn Sky with a bit of an Ironman nosejob.

To me it looks like it has been styled specifically for the American market. To me it has appeal but in a brutal sort of way.

Put one aside for me.

Don’t think I’ll be able to afford one on my tax return. Does it come with cup holders?

Italians can’t make an electrical circuit. But they make witty engines and snappy cars. Keep a box of spare fuses handy.

Saturn should be flattered. Looks a lot like a chili red Red Line to me. And my sticker was under $35. Not comparing the two automobiles, but….

I was alluding to the ‘past history’ of concept-cars, many fine specimens that, for whatever the *Reason, were never built..
as ex.: “One of the most famous concept cars was the 1951 Buick LeSabre. Designed by Harley J. Earl’s studio with styling cues from jet fighter planes and used by him for years as an everyday driver(!), the LeSabre offered a preview of the aircraft styling that followed in the ’50s. The ’51 LeSabre contained such technological features as a dual gasoline and alcohol fuel system and a moisture sensor which would raise the convertible top if it began raining when the owner was away from the car.”
“The 1956 Buick Centurian was an aerodynamic four-seat coupe with a patented rear-mounted television camera to provide a rear view to the driver. Front seats automatically slid back when the doors were opened for easier entry and also moved forward to provide entry and exit to the back seats. A cantilevered steering wheel positioned the steering shaft down the centre of the car, allowing more legroom for the driver.”

Where is the roof? None of the pictures show the roof.
