Afla Romeo 147 is not a reliable car anymore, an you know it. Nobody was execting so see a succesor for this car, but the guys from Alfa Romeo decided to build a new five-door hatchback, tipped to receive a new nameplate ouside the three-digit number designation, positioned slightly above the three-door MiTo hatch.
As for the new the new MiTo, the styling is expected to borrow the themes laid out by the 8C Competizione, which should translate better to the increased dimensions of the 149/Giulia over the more cartoonish looks of its smaller sibling.
We expect to see a wide range of gasoline and diesel engines, which could be topped by a 265-horsepower GTA version. According to our trustable sources, the 149 will be unveiled in a bit over a year fron now at the Frankfurt Show for market roll-out anticipated in late summer 2009.
