Seperated at birth?

I wonder what the Alfa Romeo designer was thinking when he penned this one:

Sorry to say it but that Alfa makes the T350 look like a retiring violet.

Oh and the back end is much more Elise MkII than anything else...

[Apache]

Nope, looks nothing like it. Does remind me of those little Opels I used to see in Germany, y'know the ones that looked like a baby Corvette?

[nubbin]

T350 is the better shape, IMHO

That'll be the Opel GT.

Apart from the bulge over the rear wheel, the way the rear end cuts down abrubtly, the vents in front of the wheels, the wheels, the windscreen rake, and the overall profile?

Thats the fecker! cute looking thing. As for the similarities what about the mid 70's Corvette, I think that car started a lot of styling cues that have become common on a lot of sports cars.

Opel GT

[marki]

Wheel archs are modified IIRC

[anonymous-user]

They look as though they have been modified on that one.

[plotloss]

Doh! Will read thread next time...

Thats about as bang on a match as there is going to be I reckon.

[Apache]

yeah the whole car has had the 'works' but it shows the similar cues, now if I could superimpose the Alfa wheels onto the opal...........

[raceboy]

Also avaliable in BMW M-Coupe style.......

Soft top.....

.........'fancy a race'

[apache]

Now that's just nasty!............ in a volvo 480 type of way and the bottom pic looks like the wing took his roof off when he drove underneath

Perhaps SAAB Sonnet like too

[FourWheelDrift]

Saab Sonnett was more of a straight edged wedge.

[Apache]

erm, you're on yer own with that one chromazone

[Psychobert]

Odd..

I prefer the look of the Alfa in the pictures, for some reason I wasn't impressed when I 1st saw pictures of the T350. I think the Alfa's a bit more curvey..

Having said that, having had a good look at a couple of T350s in the flesh they are gorgeous.

Could be that a couple of T350s I 1st saw in pictures had Tuscan style paint jobs which I didn't think worked that well.
