With a name like GTV this Alfa Romeo was destined to be successful. Reminiscent in more ways than one of the classic GTV6 range, the modern day GTV lead Alfa back to making sporty, extrovert cars. The styling still causes debate, but nobody can say that it is uninteresting! No matter what you think about the design, I bet you still double-take when one drives past you in the street. If so, then Alfa Romeo are doing something right. Perhaps what is needed is a more extreme version - akin to Fiat's Coupe Turbo. Then again, why would Fiat cause rivalry between its own products?
