Default Alfa MiTo GTA

How cool is this. Alfa is going up in my books. 1.7 turbo delivering 230bhp in car not much bigger than a Mini. Out next summer, the small hothatch market is about to be shaken up!

To be honest I was thinking the same. I thought it had some form of resemblence to both the current Astra coupe and Leon

I like!

The two Top Gear-esque quotes on Alfas are the ying and yang of ownership :-

"Every petrolhead should own an Alfa at some point in their car ownership career"

"The dealers are unfriendly, incompetent and clueless. which is a shame, as you'll be seeing plenty of them."

Damn that looks good.

Driver Republic are reviewing both the Mito & Scirocco GT.

Hope I haven't ordered the wrong one.

Or if they just made it RWD. Bar the BMW 1 Series, there isn't another RWD hatch out there, surely thats a big hole in the market.

Like the snow videos on here:
Sporty

Where did the 230bhp figure come from, the website only says 170, is the gta not on that website?
