Mais um sketch

Jantes de 30''?
 
Face à sua história, o potencial desenhistico desta marca em termos de projecção futura é algo de verdadeiramente infindável!!!

Muito bem visto! A Alfa Romeo tem tanto por onde se inspirar do ponto de vista estilístico olhando para a sua história. O legado da Alfa Romeo é um manancial imenso para qualquer designer de automóveis.
 
O "Giulia" não é substituto do Giulietta.
Estão previstos 7 modelos para além do "Giulia", incluindo os SUVs...só não é especificado se algum modelo terá SW (acredito que sim).

A gama ficará, para já com 4 modelos, MiTo, Giulietta, 4C (Coupé e Spider) e "Giulia"
Há que esperar mais um par de anos a ver como correm as coisas.

Eu sei é do 159, que já devia ter saído a mais tempo. O problema é que a gama atual é curta e antiga, o Mito as vendas devem ser residuais, o Giulietta sem a versão carrinha perde muitas vendas. O 4c é um sucesso mas não é um mercado de milhares de unidades como um segmento C.

Mas sim, é esperar para ver.
 
Daí retira-se isto:

These people claimed that all the sketches on the internet and in magazines so far have been completely wrong.
The new Alfa is slightly longer than a BMW 3-series and has a sporty though not particularly revolutionary design (probably meaning it has a quite normal overall design in terms of shape, not that it looks dull, Ed.).
Apparently it can be somewhat compared to a BMW 530, but a bit lower, claim the employees.
The rear lights are elongated like those of the Giulietta, while the headlights – and we quote those workers – will be something we’ve never seen before with a rectangular shape.
Many parts are made out of carbon (!) and aluminum to make the car as light as possible, the side support of the roof being one of them.

2013 Alfa Romeo Giulia

As formas simples sao as mais belas.

Dispenso faoris cheios de azeite ao estilo japones.

Rectangulares, redondos, quadrados sempre foram e sempre serão os mais belos


Cada vez mais fico mais curioso com este carro. De perfil parece um mini Ghibli - o que é óptimo - e depois falam em faróis rectangulares... Hmmmm faz-me lembrar logo os clássicos. Like
 
Entrevista ao CEO da Alfa Romeo/Maserati, Harald Wester

The Dutch magazineAutovisie has published an interview with Harald Wester in its latest edition that came out today. The main subject was the Giulia – what else? – and how important this model actually is for the brand Alfa Romeo. The CEO of Maserati and Alfa Romeo also addressed where it all went wrong in the past.“We want to make our dealerships and all Alfisti around the world happy. Those people aren’t enough though. More Alfas need to be sold and we therefore need to attract a new audience as well. But it’s wonderful to know that so many people still love Alfa Romeo and have stood by the brand through these rough last years. These people their support is unconditional”, says Wester.

“We need to be tough on ourselves and admit that it all went horribly wrong back in 1986 when Alfa ended up in the hands of Fiat. Looking for economies of scale and synergies is a good thing, but the management completely forgot about Alfa Romeo’s heritage at the time and what it stood for. They lacked vision. The 159, for example, was a result of the partnership between GM and Fiat and was pretty much a mess. It was an enormous investment in a model that was not at all state-of-the-art.”

“Now we have started from scratch. You might wonder why we didn’t do so ten years ago, but keep in mind that we were on the verge of bankruptcy back then. I am convinced that our German colleagues were already discussing which Italian brand would be taken over by whom back in 2004-2005. Even Fiat was in trouble. General Motors paid big money back then to not be obliged to take over Fiat. Those two billion euros were a good deal, as we had no money at the time to develop new products. Fiat and Lancia in particular were entirely dependent of the Italian market; none of the two did very well abroad. Alfa Romeo was the entire opposite as the 145 and 147 sold better outside of Italy than inside. Alfa Romeo’s sole purpose was to survive at that moment because there simply wasn’t any money to invest.”

Wester appoints North-America as the most important market for Alfa Romeo in the future. He estimates some 40% of total production will be sold in the US in 2018. China should account for a quarter of the sales, leaving some 35% or 140.000 for Europe out of the 400.000 units they hope to sell globally in 2019. “We have done nothing but keeping Alfa alive in recent years. Of course the brand suffered because of this, but the best thing we have done is say no to all those who wished to buy the brand. And there were many of them; don’t think that VAG were the only ones. Even now there are still manufacturers that are interested.”

“It is said that we will be using a Chrysler-platform for our new model, but that’s complete rubbish. We have an entirely new structure ready. In this one model we will bring an entirely new chassis, a new design language and brand new engines and transmissions. The 24[SUP]th[/SUP] of June will be a milestone in Alfa’s history, only a few of these moments have occurred in the brand’s 105-year existence. We will have to focus on models that can be sold worldwide though. A Stationwagon is typically European and for now we will use our funds for products that will sell globally only. A wagon will join the range in the future, but only once we’ve established ourselves firmly into the market place again.


A marca vai concentrar-se primeiro nos modelos que possam ser vendidos globalmente, por isso a Station Wagon, que é mais virada para a Europa, só deverá ver a luz do dia mais tarde.
 
Última edição:
Não creio que vá ser germânico. Vai sim dar mais atenção ao gosto dos americanos, já que o mercado americano é grande aposta da Alfa Romeo para os próximos anos.

Depois do 159 e das análises que foram feitas à sua linha estilística (acusada de ser demasiado agressiva), espero um Giulia mais morno e mais consensual. Talvez um ou outro pormenor delicioso salve a honra do convento, mas no geral não espero uma enorme pedrada no charco.
 
Nem mais Bialbero. Concordo contigo.
A questão dos faróis mais rectangulares é porque será mais adaptado ao gosto americano. Não esperem uma "bomba" com um design ultra-agressivo.
Olhem para o Jaguar XE, BMW Série 3, Audi A4 e vão ver que nenhum destes é o pináculo das respectivas marcas em termos de design.

Não esperem o mesmo do Giulia mas sim um segmento D atraente.
