Some of the speculation on the next Gen (ND/Alfa) car is interesting...

There were another couple (incl the better of the concepts imho) I can't find right now.

It seems that the first shot shows the next mild-refreshing of the NC (people say NC3) with the most important modification in the front end.

There are some minor mechanical mods, the most curious is a bonnet that raises in case of accident with pedestrian, to reduce risk of injuries.

They are slightly horrific looking, apart from the two Alfa versions !!

The fourth one down that list looks ilke the old Chrysler Crossfire
