It just is.
Hey Good-Lookin’!
The Alfa Romeo MiTo is so beautiful one just has to talk about its appearance ahead of its sparkling power, enjoyable roadholding, Italian tradition – and even that odd name.
The MiTo, to put it simply, looks like an Alfa should.
There’s a fairly wide choice of colours and while Italian cars traditionally look great in red, the bright yellow paint job brings out its stunning curves.
While much is made of the MiTo drawing its “design cues” from the recent Alfa 8C Competizione supercar, the deep and narrow heart-shaped grille is also reminiscent of the Alfa 147s, when they first came to this country a few years ago. Perhaps it rings a bell because at the time Alfa cleverly played on this aspect by providing their hostesses at the launch event with cocktail dresses blessed with the same daringly low-cut fronts as the grilles on the cars.
That launch was also remarkable for the fact that Alfa brought out an Italian designer to talk about the 147, when it was THE exciting new hatchback, just as the MiTo is now. The loving way in which he ran his hands around the curves (of the car, not the hostesses) was so full of passion it should probably have had an age restriction.
