Alfa Romeo Mi.To – new baby Alfa hatch
Alfa Romeo has revealed three teaser images of their new B-segment hatchback, recently christened the Alfa Romeo Mi.To. Not Junior, not Furiosa. The name Mi.To is short for Milano and Torino (Milan and Turin), cities which host the Alfa Romeo and Fiat headquarters respectively.
The Alfa Romeo Mi.To will be 4060mm long, 1720mm wide and 1440mm tall. Under its hood will be the same family of Fiat engines ranging from 90 horses up to 155 horses, and all petrol and diesel variants will be force inducted. What’s new would be a new range of dual clutch transmissions, replacing the trademark Selespeed.
It will be equipped with a system Alfa calls DNA – Dynamic, Normal and All-Weather. DNA settings will adjust the responsiveness of the throttle, steering, brakes and gear shifts for sporty, city or slippery roads.
Two more photos and a video after the jump.

Now that Alfa is switching to double-clutch, I’m waiting to see what I’ll hear from those Alfisti who always claim that Selespeed is actually the best system in the world, but nobody knows how to use it properly.

Not to be annoying, but don’t you think, the front end looks like the recently facelifted Kia Picanto? Not the one we have here…
Check it out…

March 16, 2008 @ 4:07 pm
most like to be using punto/bravo engines
March 16, 2008 @ 4:34 pm
It looks more like a the new Bravo than the Grande Punto, especially from the rear. Anyway, it’s just georgous…..
March 16, 2008 @ 7:10 pm
VERY NICE EXCEPT its time to change their signature grill ! (which also appeared in Perdana V6)
Can “art director Theo” do something with it!
March 16, 2008 @ 7:41 pm
Alfa has never failed producing beautiful cars. I read somebody call it ugly. Yes, you’re entitled to your own opinion but it’s certainly not true if you can appreciate art which Alfa is really good on it.
Is this a replacement for the 14X line? or just filling the gap between 14X and 15X lineup?
March 16, 2008 @ 8:09 pm
rear and side design is beautiful…but front its hard for me to accept….its acceptable but a little bit weird in my opinion
March 16, 2008 @ 8:26 pm
smooth line of design
it gonna be classic
even thou is weird looking
March 16, 2008 @ 8:46 pm
This new Alfa reminded me of this car:

Possibly a direct replacement model for the outgoing 147 model?
Anyway, how CUTE it is to be loved by you!

Yeah, it’s a future classic. The reincarnation of the classic Alfasud, hope it won’t be a rust bucket like the original one.

March 17, 2008 @ 1:42 am
very weird design. Cannot say if its cute or plain ugly
March 17, 2008 @ 12:51 pm
love the body and curves..but the front end is decidingly ugly…its a frog..its a toad..no, its alfa romeo
March 17, 2008 @ 1:01 pm
Nice shape, since it’s based on the Punto but that face… makes me wanna reach for a monster sized bug swat! I’ll go for Punto really.
March 17, 2008 @ 6:21 pm
when cute meets luxurious
March 17, 2008 @ 10:14 pm
That’s the Competizione 8C front melding its way into the hatch. Well at least that is for certain for future Alfa design… I guess. Not too sure whether its likeable or not. It has this teutonic feeling about it. Especially the back portion. Maybe its trying to win some Germans.
March 18, 2008 @ 4:23 pm
likes its cutting, but unlikely to own one,
satria neo is ok though,
more or less simillar in cut,
June 20, 2008 @ 12:01 pm
Damn nice car….typical alfa style…weird/ugly and beauty at the same time…as usual, alfas styling got character/soul!
Alfas had always been my dream machine, other than sportsbikes…, but not enough $$ to throw around,..so had to be practical & stick wt safer generic Japs car instead…
