Hi

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/218619/alfa_romeo_mito.html

Mmmm, Mito. Italian for myth. I wonder how they are getting away with naming it the same as an existing Italian bike.

All the best

Keith

A 147 that someone washed in boiling water and shrunk by mistake?

Hi,

Not sure i like it, maybe i do??

They are obviously going for the baby 8c concept, and i think it'll sell.

Is this the new 'alfasud' we've heared about which was strongley tipped to be called the 'junior'???

Keith, is the Mito a Cagiva? If so are Cagiva still Italian owned? If so they're all one big happy Fiat family i guess, perhaps???

I think if they called it the 'alfasud' they would get more interest. Perhaps a more retro 'sud' will be made one day (Please!!!). Maybe they think people would associate 'alfasud' with rust, but then i've seen many rotten air-cooled beetles, bmc minis, fiat 500, 2cv....

John

Hi

Think that the 'sud name only brings back good memories for the UK & enthusiasts, hence Alfa would prefer not to use it.

Cagiva were owned by a Malaysian company for a while but are back in Italian hands. Nothing to do with Fiat.

All the best

Keith
