Maybe a new Alpine will be next!

Ran across this on Wired magazine's website and thought you might get a charge out of it.

We were discussing similarities (or lack thereof) on this thread.

Let us hope an Alpine recreation/inspired new design would have more elements of the original in it.

Hi,

I agree with Rodewaryer. It does not take much for some of these designers/artists to do a little bit of research of the original car. They can then capture the escence of our cars and design something with looks inline with our cars. Instead they come up with something that does not resemble any of our vehicles. Then again, people percieve things differently.

Regards, Robin.

All this appears to be is a hijack of the Tiger name. At lease Fiat, VW and BMW/Mini attempted to incorporate styling cues from the original car to the new ones.
