That's one automobile company that has it's share of stinkers. LOL The Stelvio is cool because it's unique and rare... other than that, it's proportioned kinda awkward. A lil squarish here, a lil edgy there.. kinda angular in the wrong places, like Bizarro Superman's face. HAHAA :P It's kinda weird how it's curvy and bulky towards the front of the car, then slab sided, boring and flat going towards the rear.. it looks like a bodybuilder, whose all big up top, but has skinny chicken legs. Man, and some of us thought AMC, owned the rights to the name oddball car designer award.. Zagato may just be taking that title. lol :) Yea, that’s where I associate Zagato.. with Alfa Romeo.

I don't think it's pretty but I would have one in my hypothetical/unlimited-budget car collection. Its got to be one of the top 5 most unique JDM cars ever. Oh me too.

A year or so ago I had saved some photos I had found of one, but had no information on the car. I had thought it was a one off build, but then came across more photos without information again. To know it's built on a common RWD Nissan platform is exciting since I'm one of the few people the styling appeals to. :) Thank you for the article.

I never knew the Stelvio was so expensive when new! To be honest, I think without the humps for the faired in mirrors it would have been a decent looking car. I'm sure I have seen a version with slightly different styling once too. I'm digging through the zillions of pics on my PC now to see if i can find it. I'll post it up if I do.

THE DB7 is a pass to me... i take the stock over it... somehow the grill makes it look less menacing and more weird... and the rear is something not worth to be mentioned... Now i wonder... why does zagato designers really think when they are doing their designs... that would be something worth a research :P Yeah, i’m familiar with those 3, the SZ is brute… nothing that you would originally expect from alfa romeo, something at it’s rear doesn’t make my particularly happy about it, but I’ve seen photoshoped pics of it which are actually nice
