Not sure if this has been acknowledged on the board yet, but I think Alfa have done something to make me eat my words on the Mito
The GTA version looks and possibly sounds (if you can believe the guerilla marketing on youtube) as hot as a hot thing with the hots from hotsville.
Maybe this could be the new jason-traffic-jammer after all!?

Purely superficial.
I once owned a reasonably grunty FWD and while the world (but semingly not AR) has progressed a lot since then, it was utterly useless in the wet and only slightly better in the dry.

who you calling superficial?
Mito GTA couldn't be as 'bad' as 147 GTA and its actually not too shabby (of course it would be better as RWD, but that ain't gunna happen anytime soon).

it can have all the spoilers in the world, but cute factor in an alfa is just Wrong! alfas should never ever attract hair dressers and silly girls.

Are you looking at the same pictures - that's not cute, that's hard core cool and will bring the 'import tuner' type crowd to Alfa (which is a growing market and hence pretty good business sense) - I know, from Alfa, who would'a thought it.
And - re discussing this to death,
well I'd hate to clutter up the forum, theres
sooo much else happening here at the moment {in best Foghorn Leghorn voice} that's sarcasm son, SARCASM!

Hmmm, I saw it at the Paris auto show, I really liked it and I like its current lines, we can't compare GTV6's or 75's or even Giulies, I love my Giulie with it's quirky looks, but neither would pass a crash test today, I would definetely buy one, pictures nowaday's don't do justice to it's looks, too much photoshop...

I accept that the front is not as strong as other angles, but is still a tough looking little car - HUGE improvement over the standard model - so definately more satan and less bambi in the genes there!

I reckon that this non transaxle item is so interesting that it should stimulate a sheit load of interest on the Mazda website if someone wants to move it there..
