Alfa Romeo’s recent history is a litany of false dawns and aborted rebirths. So, we’re loathe to predict a real renaissance for the beleaguered Italian brand. And yet the evidence is beginning to mount up. Most tangibly, of course, Alfa officially launched the productionised 8C Competizione super coupé at the Paris show in September.

The bad news, for sports car enthusiasts at least, is that the new car could be yet another premium SUV.

First the good news. Maserati is working on a new coupe-cabriolet / folding hardtop model for 2008. And the bad news? It’s a next-gen Alfa 166 underneath. Bugger.
