As you can see in the mag, designers will keep the transition from coup탩 to cabriolet simple, retaining the GT"s elegant lines and distinctive rear-end styling. Unlike some rivals, the Alfa won"t have a folding hard-top, as bosses have opted for a conventional electrically operated fabric hood. This will give the car a more compact mechanism, allowing the shape and impressive practicality of the hard-top two-door to be preserved.

A snapshot survey has shown hardly any fixed penalty notices have been issued to drivers across the country following the change in the rules more than four months ago.
Since 18 September 2006, children have been required to use booster seats if they are under 12 years old and less than 135cm (four feet, five inches) tall, in a move that was aimed at preventing about 2,000 accident injuries a year.
Parents rushed to buy the seats with the threat of a ÷£30 on-the-spot fine, or a maximum ÷£500 if convicted in court. But police admit they are not using the powers available to them because of problems they face upholding the law.
A spokeswoman for Durham Police, which hasn"t issued any fixed penalty notices at all, told Auto Express: "We recognise there are difficulties assessing young passengers" height and age."
Essex Police, which has also issued no tickets, said: "In the initial period, we are looking at giving advice to people."
North Yorkshire Police told us it has yet to issue a fixed penalty, and blamed difficulties in measuring children"s heights and finding out ages. Northum÷bria Police has issued two fines, but the Metropol÷itan Police hasn"t handed out any.
A Department for Transport spokeswoman said: "If the police have concerns about the legislation and how to go about enforcing it, we"d expect them to feed those concerns back through the available channels. So far, we have not been made aware of any concerns."
