ALFA MI.TO - OFFICIAL TOPIC

[alfabitta92]

Dai raga non temete ke sar? una makkina bellissima. non guardate ste foto tutte kamuffate... tra l'altro anke imbottite, per questo vi d? quell' impressione

[xxmiky8xx]

micky guarda bene le foto....mi sembra troppo sgraziata sta macchina...poco armonica come linea....speriamo sia solo una brutta impressione

Ispa ricordati sempre che l'obiettivo della macchina fotografica distorce sempre le forme... e soprattutto ci sono almeno 3 cm di camuffatura sopra...

[ispanico156]

appunto per questo ho detto mi sembra...
speriamo che non sia brutta

[146rossoalfa]

Sicuramente quando sar? pronta per entrare in commercio cambier? molto rispetto alla camuffatura attuale che non identifica l'immagine e la linea dell'auto e la fa apparire stretta poca slanciata e alta.

Alfa has impressed us wildly with their 8C Competizione supercar and now all enthusiasts? eyes are on the MiTo, a name just confirmed to us by our contacts deep inside the Turin offices. The Mini and future Audi A1 (and next Volkswagen Polo sharing with the A1) ought to watch their backs for this speeding and stunning little Italian. Alfa is making it no secret that the priorities for the MiTo are to get uttered in the same breath with Mini as a B-segment leader worldwide, and then to spoil the launch party later this year for the A1/Polo.
Sources also confirm to us that development on the MiTo has been maniacally painstaking in order to arrive in exactly the form Alfa would like in order to make the biggest impact right away. The key words in Turin have been comfort, performance, and sophistication. That means being seen as premium and image-conscious with the hippest car-buying crowd.
MiTo is built on the same chassis used by Fiat?s Grande Punto and the GM?s Opel/Vauxhall Corsa, a chassis that was developed with a ton of cash during the brief marriage between Fiat and General Motors. It is reported that this chassis can give as good as it takes and the Opel Corsa OPC at 189 horsepower and 170 pound-feet of torque (197 pound-feet overboost), or the Grande Punto Abarth SS at 178 horsepower and 201 pound-feet of torque from the 1.4-liter turbocharged T-jet engine, are just the tip of the iceberg. Horsepower for the MiTo with a new turbocharged 1.8-liter direct-injected gas motor with variable valve timing as sophisticated as BMW?s Double Vanos is intended to begin at 180 horsepower and will eventually be made available with up to 230 horsepower.
Other engines ready at launch will not be new, but will include both the scorching 1.4 turbo gas T-jet in the Grande Punto and the Abarth versions, plus a turbo 1.6 diesel. There will reportedly be no gas engine smaller than 1.4-liter, and we?d be surprised if a psyched up 2.0-liter direct-injection turbo gas T-jet and the existing 1.9-liter mJTD diesel don?t show up in the lineup a year after launch. Additional sources say that a Delta version perhaps with a 280-horsepower tune of the planned 2.0-liter would not come as any surprise.
MiTo is also getting pumped up to assume an even larger role for Alfa since it has been confirmed that the successor to the 147 (also on this chassis we?ve been bandying about, but larger than the MiTo) will be offered only as a four-door hatch. This means the MiTo is destined to take on several guises, including the sinister two-door hatch you see here. Expect a four-door hatch as well for MiTo, as well as a four-door sedan, a wagon, and convertible.
Though the rear suspension is the fairly unsophisticated torsion bar setup and not state-of-this-segment multi-link, the dampers as used on the Fiat Grande Punto Abarth sister car have shown us that Fiat Automobiles knows what its doing.
The name MiTo is taken from the two cities that have formed the history of Alfa Romeo, Milan and Turin (?Torino? to the locals). The pleasing design as seen here, in fact, has been led by a team recently relocated back in the semi-abandoned traditional Alfa headquarters in the town of Arese northwest of Milan. Should the MiTo set the car world aflame as its smaller sibling the 500 has done, maybe that tattered factory can once again hit the full-on switch.
MiTo goes on sale in late autumn of this year after it?s Paris motor show debut in September and?.plans are in the works to take the MiTo truly global by bringing it to North America as a 2010 model. Pricing will be right in the ballpark with Mini.

Sembrano quasi ufficiali. Ripercorrono infatti molto le foto dei muletti.

Sembrano quasi ufficiali. Ripercorrono infatti molto le foto dei muletti.

Per fortuna non sono ufficiali...dico per fortuna xk? ad occhio si notano delle imperfezioni che non rendono giustizia alla Junior:
- fari storti;
- proporzioni del muso sbagliate;
- dimensioni dello scudo Alfa sbagliate...nei muletti si vede chiaramente che ? pi? grande;
- cornice delle portiere presente, quando invece sappiamo che nella Junior non ci saranno;
- ecc...

Cito l'utente Jeby di autopareri

con le frecce rosse i particolari che non dovrebbero esistere/sono posizionati male
con le ellissi blu le superfici che dovrebbero avere un aspetto molto pi? netto e deciso
in quelle foto i 4/5 del passaruota sembravano completamente integrati con la fiancata, quindi la linea di giunzione tra paraurti e fiancata dovrebbe essere molto pi? in basso.
Poi, se vi ricordate, l'andamento di finestrino posteriore e montante, appariva molto diverso, praticamente rimaneva un "triangolo" (vedi foto del frontale) tra il bordo del finestrino e quello della soglia del bagagliaio, nel PS invece ? un "trapezio" e con inclinazione della base inferiore sbagliata.

...e pure bruttina nelle proporzioni...

[LadyAlfa]

secondo me stanno rinviando tutto perch? si sono accorti che era troppo grande punto... e quindi stanno modificando qualcosa....

non credo sia cos?, penso solo che ce la fanno aspettare il pi? possibile per far aumentare la suspance...

Lady.........brutta bella favolosa o orrenda la Junior ? gia in preproduzione DEFINITIVA. Un auto si definisce al 90% un anno e pi? prima che esca altrimenti le catene di montaggio come producono a occhio?
Al massimo possono cambiare qualche particolare....

Partendo dal pianale della G Punto c han messo diverse paia di anni... Se volevano cambiare anche solo il posacenere posticipavano l ufficializzazione della Junior nel 3000 ...
