No bigger than the Q50, Passat CC or Levorg, just has sofa castors for wheels like most modern BMW's so looks bigger than it is!

Great news, its always worried me how his contracts have been year by year (and usually confirmed last minute) for the last few seasons.

Yep, it looks like a bit of a barge.

It's one of those cars that looks stunning head on, however the side view and the rear aren't so great. It looks more like a Vauxhall if you ignore the badge and grill, it doesn't look very "Alfa" (to my eyes).

I think the Brera and Spider are things of beauty. Those will be future classics, they are so bite the back of your hand pretty.

I agree, I think we'll see Welch & Lines more like team mates in the same car. Don't think we'll see SOPR back even though they are making noises about returning (can't see Mr Gow allowing them back). There is much more chance of Eurotech, Dynamic's, Wix, AmD or Handy adding cars to their roster. We know Dynamic's and Eurotech have the cars, AmD have the second Audi shell, Handy ordered another Toyota that wasn't going to be ready until Outlon Park this year, so they shelved running a 2nd car (plus they were asking too much £££), Wix also had another Merc shell they said they could kit out if the right deal came along. Throw into that the 3rd Chevy (hatchback) that PMR threatened to convert to a saloon, then there are plenty of potential additional cars, plus the rumoured new ones! 😉

If that turns out to be true, then I hope it's the Focus instead of the Proton...

Dick Bennetts has said he's negotiating with Tordoff, so I do wonder if his (Tordoff's) comments were a bit of 'I'm not putting pressure on myself', he has said he loves the racing in BTCC, so we'll see, maybe he's using it to get the best deal out of WSR and ensure they put enough into car development over the winter! Could be a hard year for WSR if Sam does leave and taking his bat, ball and backing elsewhere.
