In the Internet space have emerged the first clear pictures of the Italian asset in the luxury segment of the compact hatchback models. After a series of spy images, speculation and even a few pictures taken at the factory of the company, I finally have the opportunity to substitute Alfa Milano in focus. As is evident from the photographs, the replacement of 147 (pictures marked as 149) has taken many design 8C Competizione, and we saw a little MiTo. Oval front lamp, elongated, slightly tapering hood, hidden rear door handles and indeed the whole vision of the car, suggests the emergence of one of the most beautiful cars in this class. Sorry, still not much is known about the dynamic performance and technical characteristics of the model. We are able only to admire the shapes of the Alfa Romeo Milano, which as you know is a priority of the Italian brand. It is expected that the model offers a wide range of petrol and diesel engines with power between 120 and 200 hp At a later stage should appear, and more powerful V6 petrol modification engine.

Once the agreement was signed between Fiat and Chrysler, fans of Italian design in America actively await the return of Fiat and Alfa Romeo. By the end of next year there should appear Fiat 500, Alfa Romeo MiTo and Alfa Romeo Milano, although no official confirmation. The reason is that Americans are not yet fully adopted the concept of hechbetsite as practical family car. Examples are the premium automobile manufacturers – BMW and Mercedes Benz produce compact models, but are not offered overseas. It seems that Alfa Romeo could follow the same example as their first model a sedan in the United States Giulia – deputy of European 159. Executive Director of the Alfa Romeo, Sergio Kravero revealed to the Italian edition, Giulia that will appear in 2012. He adds that smaller cars as MiTo and Milano are more suitable for European markets, so that the return of Alfa Romeo will be focused around the successful debut of the sedan Giulia. Larger sedans are generally more expensive, which means that they offer higher profit sold on to small car models like MiTo. In this market in the U.S. and lack of tolerance to small cars Giulia might be the best proposal.
