I like it. 1.8T with 240bhp 
http://www.pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=19412



The normal MiTo is growing on me now too, thought it was ugly when I 1st saw it but now I'm starting to think its pretty nice! I have an urge to own an Alfa of some sort one day

I saw one the other day and thought it looked completely deformed.
GTA one looks pretty funky though.
Has Alfa gone up in the reliability stakes lately?

Alfas rock.
Sure they break down
Electrics as good as a chocolate teapot.
But they handle, and produce some fantastic engines.

Alfa are quickly changing the inherant stereo typing of their brand, but in reality it will probably take years to wash through to the person that buys on reliability...

Yeah they are pushing the "new" Alfa quite hard. I hope it works, Italians always produce the best looking cars and bikes 
We had a selespeed 156 for a while. 150bhp 2.0 16v in a 5 door car.
It pulled so much harder than a calibra/cav. In fact, it fealt morelike my XE corsa in a straight line.
Dash is aimed to the driver, not the passanger, funky little touches, and keyless + wireless entry sometimes whenever it decided...... Not so good

We have about ten MiTo's here.. no gta as yet though.. should be promising though..
i need to blag a go in one tbh.. being parts i rarely have an excuse to use one..
the dna system is suposed to be amazing though. totally transforms the car
selling them like hot cakes too

That is an utter weapon. They better make it like that and not water it down like usual concepts, I would defo buy one. The 147 GTA I think was too heavy front end for a front wheel drive.

do like the mito 
I usually think alfas are ungainly and ill proportioned. But that is quite sexy

Those exhausts need to come down a little in size imo though
