Alfa Giulietta spied

The proportions look much better than the Mito, which is rather dumpy. No doubt the four lower vents as shown in the white model photo will be retained as they look more balanced and the two vents on the black car look rather small for cooling. It is be hoped that the DNA control is better calibrated than on the Mito. 'N' position is much too feeble. Also the steering needs to be much better than the Mito almost totally feel=less and rather light steering. It would be nice to be able to turn off the "nannies".... Traction control etc.. Lets hope that the instruments are better than on the Mito which has the Rev counter and the Speedo so wide apart that most of them are masked by your hands in the normal 10 to 2 position. It would also be nice to be able to have the instruments lit without having to have headlights on at the same time. ( There is no sidelights,rear lights and instruments position on the Mito. Its all or nothing)

Hellenic Alfista

As I was driving an Alfa Romeo 1978 Giulietta 1,8 lt for more than 32 years, I am expecting a revolutionary car. If the name is given to a "suitcase with wheels" then I must protest for the defamation of the famouw name "Giulietta".
My late Giulietta was outperforming for more then 20 years most Opel Asconas, Records, Pegeauts e.t.c.
Five days before she went to the scrapyard I as challenged by an Opel Astra which of course came second to her.
She was one of the best family cars of the seventies and I cannot see how the new one would be able to compete the old legend!

There are real photographs of the car on the net now; these disguised cars are old hat.

It's pretty too.
