Soooooo, is that it for the PistonHeads Geneva wrap-up?

I only ask as AlfaRomeo had a concept car on display and I’ve not seen a mention anywhere let alone a picture, copy of the press release, snarky comment, etc.. Admittedly, I’m a fanboi... but come on, they’re such a polarising manufacturer that a photo and click bait headline would Shirley have been advertising hit gold!?

i’m probably wrong and there’s a discussion thread tucked away somewhere

What Alfa concept do you mean? I'm resting my feet but can see the Alfa stand from here. There's the F1 inspired sticker cars or the Tonale small SUV - which I think is electric?

Cheers, yes the small Tonale SUV hybrid thing.
It’s be nice to know what they’re suggesting will power it
(Has to be a dev/pre-prod concept with those mirrors and interior)

I think the issue is a distinct lack of VAG badge.

Stand by for some quality phone pictures. The car was on a turntable behind a glass fence. Zero info on display that I saw.

This car is the new Putin era Soviet system personified. It isn't a cheap Roller or Bentley, it's a rip off. It is a command economy spinning the world a line. Good luck with your £180k Lada

It looks like Skoda knocked off a RR. Could be good, might be crap.

Mercy, PH! When writing about startup marques and concept vehicles we’ve (probably) never heard of before, it might be helpful to caption your article’s pics?
Or am I the only person who doesn’t recognise the rotund gentleman and the blue-SUV-concept-thingy?

That convertible Lexus gets better every time I see it.

Subaru concept I think.

Thanks for that! I find it slightly odd that the actual site didnt have any mention of it ... tinfoil hat time

Is the Seat Minimó a badged Twizy

[craig_m67]

Cheers Cold, thanks for that!

I quite like it, although it does look like the Kamal concept from 20yrs ago with just a revised nose and tail

Would actually be really interested in a Tesla estate. 99% of the time I could do a weeks worth of driving on one charge but I need the big boot for doggo and kit. I'm surprised Tesla don't actually make one.

They kind of do already - the Model X

No mention in the article but the collection of Abarths is presumably as the company was formed 70 years ago.

Reminds me (in a good way) of an Isuzu Vehicross. Let's hope they don't hamstring it with a CVT gearbox.
