The Nuvola had all the essential ingredients of a proper Alfa Romeo sports coupe - a beautifully crafted body and interior, classic proportions, a dedicated chassis and enough power to put a smile on your face.
Of course we would have preferred a rear-wheel drive setup, but its four wheel drive layout is much less of a compromise (for a sports car) than if power was transferred exclusively to the front axle.

Now Marco is back with a more practical Sport Wagon variant of the Vittorio Jano which -in theory- is 50 mm longer and 10 mm taller than its saloon sibling.
The Sport Wagon features a face lifted front bumper with LED running lights a la the HSV E2 series and a rear end profile possibly inspired by the Peugeot 308 SW wagon.
You can see more pictures and video of the Vittorio Jano Sport Wagon below.

Following the release of the first photos and details of Alfa Romeo's Giulietta sport hatch (formerly known as the Milano), a new animated film of the car has appeared on the internet. We're guessing that the 12 second-long video was most likely created for use on Alfa Romeo's official website. Other than showing us the 147's replacement from a few new angles, there's really nothing else worth mentioning about the film. Hit the break to check it out.
Alfa Romeo's MiTo sport hatch will soon get a big brother in the form of the 147's replacement that abandons the firm's numerical system in favor of the more 'sensual' Milano name. Spied here on film at Nurburgring, the Milano is still under heavy disguise but it is evident that the hatchback's styling will be influenced by the smaller MiTo which in turn was inspired by the 8c Competizione. Based on Fiat's new C-Evo platform, the Milano will be offered with an extensive range of turbocharged petrol and diesel engines producing up to more than 200 horsepower. The five-door model will compete in the premium hatchback market along with the Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series.
The Milano's official presentation, which has been constantly delayed due to various reasons including the economic slowdown, is now expected to take place either at the Frankfurt show in September or, most likely, at next year's Geneva Salon.

Following the unveiling of the MiTo GTA Concept at the Geneva Motor Show last week, Alfa Romeo released the first official promo film of its hot hatch that is due to enter production in 2010. Shot in Valencia, the video gives a short taste of the sexy sound delivered by the MiTo GTA's 240-horsepower strong 1.75-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Too bad that Italians decided to 'dress' the rest of the video with an annoying soundtrack.On another note, and even though the MiTo GTA does look the part with today's standards, it loses hands down when compared to Giorgetto Giugiaro's stunning 1960s Giulia GTA that is also seen in the video. To be completely blunt, whereas Guilia is the epitome of Italian style, the modern day GTA looks like a comic-esque obese mouse...

Behind the Scenes Video
Before you begin working on your 'French' in our comment section, allow us to tell you that this amateur video is a only mere 15 seconds long and it just gives us a very tiny glimpse of a camouflaged Alfa Romeo 149 prototype. Like the MiTo, Alfa's new C-segment proposal will draw heavy inspiration from the marque's halo model, the stunning 8c Competizione. As we reported previously, if Fiat seals the proposed deal with Chrysler LLC, Alfa's VW Golf rival will make its way to the States, however, don't expect to see it here before 2011. In Europe, the 149 should hit showrooms by the end of the year or early 2010.Grazie for the tip Mario!
