You can tell when a motor-show concept is just a thinly disguised future production car. It"ll have windscreen wipers. The Alfa Romeo Tonale doesn"t. And yet "This concept gives a good indication of the production model," says the boss of Alfa Romeo in Europe, Roberta Zerbi. "Not just the proportions, but the details, including the telephone dial wheels and the triple headlamps. Also the dashboard lines." So it"s going to be made. When, TG enquires. "At the end of 2020," says Zerbi. So that"s pretty specific then. It"s right in the hot part of the crossover market, against compact stuff such as the Audi Q3 and BMW X1. But they don"t have the headlights off an Alfa SZ and the wheels off a 33 Stradale.
