Alfa Sprint / GT Coupe. Yeah baby
And there she is. The best of both worlds. The perfect combination between the 147 and the 156.
Whadhja think guys and girls? (see link below)

I'm still unsure I like the 147 "big nose" on the 156...
I think the big nose is more dramatic, but not as pretty, and I don't want to lose my Monza slots!! |

Officially, from Alfa today to us it's an Alfa Romeo GT coupe. It doesn't replace the GTV and is based on the 156 not 147.
Looks damn sweet!!!!

I guess Alfa are trying to position this car as a model in its own right without the 147 association.Probably to try to convince a coupe is worth lots more than a 147?
Maybe Sprint only means something to us dewy eyed Alfisti that remember the original and less to most of todays punter?

but i dont like GT coupe. it sounds too "normal" kind of like a merc "sports coupe". that doesnt mean anything. but spider, gtv, brera, dardo, giulia, etc all have a certain charm to them i guess. and 147, 156, etc suggests they are "design masterpieces" 
GT coupe... it could be a mazda gt coupe frown |

That boot lid looks a bit like a cross between a 406 Coupe and a Giulietta 116
