I think it looks great, but a non-hatchback would look better.

Seriously uncool.

Not per se because of the design (which is a dissapointment when looking at the concept), but it's overweight by a mile and it handles bad for any Alfa. Also, Why bother with a Brera when you can have the better driving, better looking Alfa GT?

I loved the concept with the flip up doors... but the production version is a slight let down. I saw one a while back, a black one...the rear looks strange. But the killer is the diesel in the line up. Not cool

I went sub zero on this one, I could give up owning a Porsche for a few years if I had one.

Cool to look at, but not that interesting as a driver's car... too bad, still "cool" I think!

Cool. Although the concept was better, too bad that interior got lost

Gorgeous and beautiful car in every way. But I'd rather have the Alfa Romeo GT...

Nevertheless subzero!

On topic, I don't think an affordable coupe like the Brera can qualify as "sub-zero" because too many people are able to buy one. Sub-zero cars are mad, near-suicidal affairs built to hurl off mountain roads at 200+ kph.

In my GT 130kph was pretty damned frightening in Switzerland, and I suspect that with the heavier Brera this would be even worse.

For looks and sheer presence though, the Brera definitely deserves to be at the very cool end of cool. Whatever that means.
