There was a 4wd Alfa wagon several years back, mercifully not sold in
the US, that came tricked out with boy-racer wheel flares and other
bulgy things. It was universally panned, and sold very badly.

The P1800 was designed in-house by Volvo, and for the first year or so
the bodies were produced by Jensen, in England. AFAIK, Bertone had no
involvement at all. Much later, there was a chop-top coupe with a
Bertone badge, basically just a sedan with a lowered "formal"
roofline, that looked even boxier and gawkier than the car it was
based on.

...which was the first Volvo to rust worse than any Alfa or Fiat ever
did!
