Alfa Romeo 149 --- More insight

[Gnoikj]

MArch, Italy..Singapore when?

[Anakin]

nice! now it will come down to the price to see if can really sell here ...

The front doesnt really work for me =/

[Rickster]

The back and side view super nice! But the front view spoil all the sporty image by giving it a "cute face" like the Mito....

[Felipe]

should be cheap if it comes soon as euro is low. my friend just got a civic 1.8 at 85k and omv only 26k!

[Weiming]

Different designer that's why :)

 

Seems the trend has come round again for car manufacturers to have the same family face (New BMW 7 and 5, Audi A4-A8, Alfa Mito, 149 and upcoming 169?) for various ranges.

 

 

 

Nicer looking than the 147.

 

 

But the lamps of 159 still looks the best, why did they take that away?

Currently the Mito and the 159 pricing is very sharp for what you get (actually to me too cheap, Alfa is premium car, should have more premium price) so let's hope can continue the trend

[Felipe]

This is normal, due to low Euro. Even the beautiful Scirocco is selling for 100k or so. And Alfa's price range is comparable to VW, Saab, Volvo so it's not exactly very cheap given the current climate. On the other hand, ppl must be mad to buy Jap models in this category when the price is nearly the same.

"This is the first official picture of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta, an all-new replacement for the ageing 147 hatchback, due for launch in Italy next March.

 

Alfa is aiming its new model squarely at the heart of VW Golf territory, and bosses hope to make the new five-door hatch the best-selling car in Alfa's history, with ambitions of upwards of 100,000 sales a year."

3 years old thread u also dig out

[Eyke]

i still prefer the angular headlamp cluster look of the 147...

 

 

 

[Felipe]

actually me too. EA should bring in all the leftover 147 stocks from Italy and sell cheap like 70k and you sure get loads of ppl buying it.

[Darryn]

147 SS no more stock (bummer) but there is one piece of the 147 twinspark if you want a bargain.....

i still like the 147 look..

 

Mito and this 149 i find too... feminized.... gg in the beetle's direction.

 

Look at the sirocco.. i guess keepg the car low and have straight sweeping lines are still better... make the car look mean and fast.

How come the 149 front look exactly like a Mito?? The car just look like a bigger version of Mito, tat's all..
