    WTF is going on over there? Why does every car coming out of Japan look like it was carved by a sushi chef on acid? Enough already with the stretched, sharp, carved, pointy, angular, exaggerated styling. There, I said it... #nissanskyline

    Those look as if they could almost pass as old drawings of the concept for the current generation G coupe. The back is nearly the same (albeit in sketched concept style), and the front is not that far of a departure. #nissanskyline

    Hooray for small displacement V8s!

    Alfa needs to make the spiritual successor to the Thema 8.32 ASAP and I'll rob a bank for it. Or just plain rob the car!

    "Fiat is basing the 166, the sedan this image is being developed for, around the next-gen 300C. "

    By "image," I take it you mean "engine."

    Also, Alfa denies it.

    @Boosted Lego Wagon: At least they can fit multiple friends in them. The old Austin Healy my neighbor had wasn't quite so accommodating, and it needed to be pushed everywhere.

    quote: will this engine find its way to the US?

    It's in development for the US. There are virtually no V8s in Europe, neither is there a demand for them over here. So why would they develop one for Europe?

    @duurtlang: Ok, V8s are a marginal market, but mostly because in countries like France, Italy or Spain engine taxation is based on displacement and a 3L V8 will be taxed just like a boring 3L V6, which is AWESOME. And yes, us Yurpeans love V8s too!
    V8s for everyone!

    @Franzouse:
    Sure, I would like to see them more often too. But don't forget our fuel prices, which are traditionally 2-3 times higher than in the US. A 3.0 V8 will consume more of the liquid gold than a 3.0 V6 with the same power and technology, so V8s will remain marginal. Even the 6 cilinders are rare, with the exception of BMW/Audi/MB
