    Absolutely LOVE the styling with the exception of the wheels :/ i realize 'capturing' the vintage look was a styling goal, but not up to the standard of the rest of the exercise. Otherwise STUNNING in my humble but educated opinion :D

    Wheels and interior are a let down. The Dash is clearly taken from the Viper.

    The dash is from a Viper but everything else is gorgeous.

    take the alfa badges off and call it a zagato viper...

    calling it an alfa deserves a punch in the...

    Fiat owns Chrysler and they are mixing matching engines and chassis from the two companies, that could just as well be a Viper chassis with a Zagato body, or a Alfa chassis with a Viper engine.

    The Stradale is a beautiful car. There would be many buyers for this car in the USA; I think they know this already. :)

    true....platform and/or component sharing is common place in the current world auto manufacturing these days, so is no real surprise there, we likely wouldn't see it's being built possible otherwise.....to build it and make profit, it only makes sense, and lord knows fiat/alfa could use some of that :)

    Unfortunately Fiat plans to use many of the "fiat" engines in the Chryslers, this could be a big problem for US buyers.

    I also think it's too much Viper to be badged an Alfa Romeo...

    I think it's the other way around. I definitely like the Zagato style.
