Still in the dark

Plenty of rumours, speculations and artist renderings on the new Alfa 'Junior' which is destined for a debut at the upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March. But so far nothing concrete has come through the grapevines.

Today, the Italian Autobloggers have received some two images of a covered-up Alfa which could be the new Alfa Romeo Junior, which was voted to be called Furiosa by internet users through an Alfa-organised survey but the name was axed by Alfa execs after the results came in. The front shot really does not reveal anything (you can barely see the Alfa Romeo emblem through the cover, but the rear shot gives us a good glimpse of the bumper and exposed oval shaped exhaust tips.

We have sent out a small army of spy photographers to find us more on the new Alfa, so stay tuned for more.

Smokeonit1- I do believe your wrong, if you look at the image you can see that the light is partially cover for some reason.

And as for cars that was one light for reverse and one for rear fog light, been cheap cars, haha your way off on that one. not only is it a unique design to set apart from the rest but the Nissan skyline incorporated that design to their R33 or R32 model. and Skyline's aren't cheap. not by a long shot.

those examples are wrong, the manufacturers were cheap by not trying to get the rear and fog lights in double, right and left into the normal setup, that's what i call cheap. the skyline doesn't have fog light for japan nor the US specs ask for fog lights in the rear... car manufacturers put them in voluntarily... that's why most US spec cars only have one because the had 2 rear back up lights, and the euro/asia version didn't have enough budget to convert it the right way... mass manufacturers like VW tend to do it the same way, the US specs have both, the EU spec normally have the cheap way... and the US spec is missing the fog light then!

i'm not saying that those models are cheap, i'm saying the manufacturers are cheap by not thinking it through and giving their cars 2 fog lights and 2 back up lights!!! some have it, especially the expensive BMWs and mercedes cars, i think the 3 series in US spec have fog and rear back up lights in tandem too... but i'm not a 100% sure right now...

This is the best 'spy photo' yet! Hmm, perhaps other manufacturers should employ the 'cloak' effect! Who knows, it may actually work!

This is a Fiat Punto based Alfa Romeu. Take a look at rear lamps below the bumper, that's are the same found in Punto. On the front bumper, the fog lamps are clearly the same from Punto. Good and old idea.

Single rear fog lights are mandatory in many markets, including Germany, to prevent confusion with rear running and brake lights. Nothing cheap here, simply obeying legislation.
