The Mito GTA is canned for now citing economic crisis as the reason to hold back.

i remember when the 2.5V6 156 with manual gear box...only a few unit here....

 

 

the clutch keep on give way......until the autogear box is better in the 2.5V6 156

 

hope the new 1750 got no issue.......

Fiat Group made a loss of 168M euros this Q. Not so bad lar, considering the losses in the last one. And they did just choke down a big Yankee.

Anyway not surprising, just about every car maker is taking a beating. As long as they can survive this down phase, should be fine. Just hope it doesn't lead to 'cost cutting' on their cars. They're just shedding their 'reputation'... for 'temperamental' cars. (No, it's not as notorious skirt-chasers, this reputation is alive and well... haha.)

If I'm not wrong, the Q-tronic gearbox for the TBi is from the same supplier for the BMW Mini.

 

Can't remember the name, is something like "Aiqin".

that 'aiqin' gearbox that you mentioned is the 6 speed auto box that found it way onto the 1.9jtdm 159.

159 1.8Tbi will first comes with a manual and then follow by a DDC (DSG for VW group) as I last read somewhere in the web.

nope, the 159 1.8Tbi will be out with a manual followed by an auto. There has been no confirmation that the dual clutch will be used on 159. In fact, Alfa Dual Clutch is not even out yet.

Agreed, and I think the future Alfa dual-clutch will be from Fiat development and not the VW DSG.

[Felipe]

whatever it is it'll help market themselves more in auto markets. selespeed are for manual drivers who don't want auto. Auto drivers will never enjoy the selespeed. DSG is a better transition for them.

[Chrispie]

After driving Selespeed.. the tot of driving plain Auto is just so unappealing...

[Vtim]
