Alfa Romeo Mito

During photoshoot

Bit by bit Alfa Romeo reveals its brand new Alfa Mito, first three studio images revealing the styling and only recently the interior. But with its launch approaching fast, advertisements need to be made and thus the Mito went to the streets of Turin, Italy (where else, the to stands for Torino) for its photo shoot. Or so we guess since we are not sure why the Mito is out in the open but what else could it be?

Finally some new images and for the first time we can see the Mito in white, arguably looking better than the traditional Alfa red, and with the new logo proudly displayed on its rear. The white model features new wheels and dark grey head and rear lamp bezels rather than the red model's chrome mouldings.

Progetto955 reader Biagio was on hand to shoot a few photos which can be viewed after the source link.

what?!!! and people have the nerve to make fun of japanese car design. on the evidence of this car from the land of style, i beg to differ. the front end is monstrously ugly. talk about running outta ideas! and the massive wheel arches look sooo wrong. i hope the Mini crushes this big time. it deserves to fail. i will reserve judgement fully, until i see it in the flesh. oh and one more thing, you could count the cars on one hand that look cool in white. and no this aint one of them!

Nice..However i think the styling does fit as well as with its cousin the 8C. Something doesn't work in the front..Side Note: The Fiat 500 wheels need to go on the white one

Thankfully it wont be coming to North America. What an ugly looking little car.....the white one with those wheels looks like a Daewoo we used to have here before the comapny went belly up.........hideous.

IT DEPENDS HOW MORE EXPENSIVE IT IS THAN THE PUNTO IT WILL DRIVE BETTER THAN PUNTO BUT ITS LESS ROOMY AND LOOKS A BIT AWKWARD SO ITS NOT WORTH MUCH MORE THAN THE PUNTO IMO.

THE DESIGN IS NOT PROGRESSIVE IT LOOKS LIKE A 2000/01 DESIGN NOT 2008 I CAN DO BETTER.

Looks much better in red. I think it´s not a beautiful car, but it´s OK for its range price, although I rather the Mini

I am already going off this. The red car seems highly specified and Alfa has always had an issue finding buyers for expensive cars. You can't count the Alfa 8C because it has sold out its 500 production run or whatever.

Ugly! The red one looks better than the white one, but then that's hardly an achievement. The red one also looks "wnder wheeled" it somehow does not go well with the big wheel arches. Its one of those cars that looks good in some colors i think... I am not sure what the expected price will be for this when it lands in Australia, but if the top spec is anything more than 30K then Alfa will be struggling to sell this car against the well established Mini. Alfa does not seem to have a great "reliability" image here in Australia.

Oh and i just realised that this also reminds me of the Nissan Micra - Micra has a taller body obviously and the back is different. but the front reminds me too much of a micra with a alfa grill! and thats not a good thing!
