Out of 7 Pavillions full of cars I only went to the stand A130 on Pavillion 1. Although the Mazda Stand was on the way I took a quick peek of the new MX5 (and I was STILL not impressed after seeing the Alfas).

Here's my next car when it comes to America. It will compete with Mini. Seats 5, 6 gears (I mean full red line gears not overdrive), and much more.

A bit too ulitilitarian for my tastes,and kinda Asian styled... and a real crappy name.

Now THIS is more to my liking:

Thanks for the pics Stephan.
I wonder how substantially they're going to have to change the front end of the MiTo in order to meed US 5mph crash ratings. As it's designed right now it doesn't look like it will fly.

For instance Audi had to add a bumper across the grill on their new front end design language.

Sure, but these are $250K apiece and quota for the US already sold out...
It really does not reflect Alfa marque, they make one of those evry now and then but the day-to-day stuff is Brera thru Mito.
The Mito will be around $20K

Uhhh...yikes. I figured that car for a Miata x2ish price tag... It does not look like $250k!
I could take a Tiburon and add an extra grille or three and be pretty close to the same look

saving $225k in the process;that's allota track time!

Yea,I know it's not the same

The latest edition of Car & Driver states that the MiTo will probably not come to the US because it lacks ODB-II.
