If you had to guess what vehicle underpins this Guangzhou GAC Trumpchi, what would you guess? Here’s a hint: if you’re basing your answer on exterior styling, you will definitely get this one wrong…
… because underneath that Chinese designer’s take on the Toyota Avalon lies the platform from one of the more beautiful (if not wildly successful) sedans of the last ten years: the Alfa-Romeo 166. Bet you never saw that one coming! [via AutoBild]

- Jrhurren Worked in Detroit 18 years, live 20 minutes away. Ren Cen is a gem, but a very terrible design inside. I’m surprised GM stuck it out as long as they did there.
- Carson D I thought that this was going to be a comparison of BFGoodrich's different truck tires.
- Tassos Jong-iL North Korea is saving pokemon cards and amibos to buy GM in 10 years, we hope.
- Formula m Same as Ford, withholding billions in development because they want to rearrange the furniture.
- EV-Guy I would care more about the Detroit downtown core. Who else would possibly be able to occupy this space? GM bought this complex - correct? If they can't fill it, how do they find tenants that can? Is the plan to just tear it down and sell to developers?

Its nice that any article about Alfa Romeo brings an rash of comments......There maybe a lot of love/hate opinions...but at least it shows that the marque is still newsworthy! and I hope worth saving!
Curse you, TTAC! As soon as I saw your posting a pic of the 166, I just HAD to go find one to buy. Come to find out, I can't!!!! May all your servers catastrophically fail at the same time.
