I popped into the Alfa dealer in Derby today to have a mooch over one of these. Bloody Hell! The styling, the detailing. It is so much better in the flesh than in the pics. I now know what is going to replace the Fabia next year. I won't be able to get the GTA, so will be going for the 1.4TB 155bhp Veloce, in bright solid Guilietta Red, of course.

BUT, is it not just a bit too girly in the MINI/500 mould though, for a bloke my age?

Have to own an Alfa at some point to qualify as a proper petrolhead - may as well be a girl's one wink

I work next to the Alfa dealer and popped over at dinner to look at it when they first got them in. I wasn't too impressed tbh. They look nice from a distance.

..Wasnt one of these was it? Panda Alessi. Saw one in London, and thought it looked pretty cool. Black ones look better though.
