The hints I was given is that its Euro, but not British or Italian. It has an engine from a different manufacturer than the car. This is the 2nd generation; the first was even uglier, and there is a 3rd which is much better.

Agreed, the front end screams 80's Alfa concept.

The wheels look they came from an audi TT, and the grill has an audi feel to it also

My first impression was Fiero; I'll have to check my google-fu and see what I can come up with.

I know i've seen it before.

Looks like a cross between a Firebird and a Fiero with an Alfa front end especially the three hole headlights.

Looks like one of those odd ball "sport Utes" from Down Under. except for the Alfa flavored grill- like this....





Back end roof line appears to be a swept side open cargo?? like an El' Camino


Someone should of spilled coffee on the drawing board that first few weeks to kill it in it's infancy.

On the other hand it looks like Pininfarina started the love session with Mrs Audi but after Pontiac and Peugot got involved it was just a plain, unromantic gangbang that resulted in an unwanted child. Uncle Aztek has always looked out for it though.

I was thinking more modified Alfa grill and wheels are definitely Audi.
