I thought it was just a concept as well. But apparently they got quite a good reception at the car shows...
I can't wait to see if they come to this side of the pond.

You might find some more info at www.alfabb.com including several discussions about Alfa's return to the US. As an Alfisti I'm excited about that but since I'm moving to Poland in two months it's a moot point for me. Besides, they sell Alfas there now.

I found a pic I took earlier this year at the Amsterdam Auto Show of the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider. It gives you an idea on how the front end will most likely look like.
And here's a link to the official 8C website: http://www.8c.alfaromeo.com/

Sadly, only 500 models will be built, and the entire UK allocation is already sold out.

So true, and so sad! I'm not a fan of the new ones but if you've never driven a 71 GTV with a 1750 engine you can't appreciate what little jewels those old Alfas are. And I loved my 84 spider.
