From behind the headlights and back they look really nice.

But from the headlights forward it's one of the ugliest cars I've ever seen...

That has got a nice rear! Looks a lot better than the Mini or the 500 Arbarth.

i bet a lot of golf GTi drivers would argue that point!

din't the pug 206 GTi win the title of best handling car in the world a few years back?

front wheel drive is fun in a small car, you just got to know how to drive it. in bigger cars, such as my 166 and HRC's STS, it is indeed a lot less fun, but in the Mi-To its perfect.

i'm not sold on the front styling, it looks better in red, and a lot better in the metal, its supposed to evoke images of the 8C competizione, but its  bit too narrow and buggy to really do that for me.

Alfa have long had noses that make bold statements, but they definitely grow on you. the nose was my least favorite part of the 166 (pre 2004) when i bought it, but now i think its really nice.

-edit- white does it no favours at all, metallic red or black work so much better.

A wise, and ginger, man once told me, "you can't polish a turd"

I don't care how my eyes are constructed, but please, correct me if i'm wrong, but surely an ugly car is still ugly, no matter what colour it is?

If we were talking about the BMW 1 Series I'd agree 100% but......................

Although I thought the same to start with, it's really grown on me
