Alfa Romeo 8C
Now here's a company that understands curves!
Discussion
The side profile has T350 written all over it, but overall the car is a looker, considering it is from a corporation.
The obsession with retaining the traditional recognisable grills that manufacturers have spolis things though.
If you need the grill to recognise the car then something is wrong.

agree or not?
Yep, 4 wheels, headlights, 2 doors - dead ringer for the Aston. Or the TVR. Or a Hyundyidayuuaiy Scoupe. Or a Volvo C70.
Come on, you either say all coupe's/cars look alike, or you look at subtle or not so subtle differences - but there's only so many ways you can make a curvey coupe whilst still keeping it a bit practical. Windtunnel dictates as well, just as it does your average mundano.
For me, this looks really nice (certainly better than a T350, maybe not than the Aston) and will not be mistaken for any of the others if it makes production - which it won't in this shape. You hardly ever see these stunning studies reaching production with all the bells and whistles that makes them stunning - for Alfa, remember the Brera - if that makes production it will look a lot more mundane, or boring, than the mouthwatering first studies.
It`s sooooo much better looking than the T350 and has bits of 33 stradale, disco volante and guilia.
This is IMHO absolutely fecking gorgeous and if it looks anything like this when they make it my BoxS`s days are numbered.
p.s. Alfa using their grill is hardly pastiche - have a look at some of the things they`ve made before....

Looks fabulous. Reminds me of Alfa's Canguro show car from 1964! How we've moved on...
