Alfa Romeo is here in USA....................or at least in Ann Arbor, Michigan with a black box on the dash and a couple of wires going into it.

 

I'll try to get better pictures, my camera does poorly at dusk. About 15 minutes later I almost hit a deer in my old Porsche while going 47 mph. Those old disc brakes and old dot 3 brake fluid did their job better than I could have expected. The camera and everything not tied down in the car went flying foreword, but all is well.

I can't make out the name, funny stick lettering all broken up style.

 

This car looks much better in real life, like a Yaris done over by Abarth. The headlights are very Porsche like, the tailights are just cool.

It is the MiTo. I am surprised that they are running around MI.

 

So, pic quality is due to the near deer run-in or dusk like atmosphere?

I think I saw Bigfoot and a UFO in there somewhere! :shades:

Alright, I have to admit that of the three other car forums I posted these pictures in, that is the funniest line of them all. :hysterical:

 

Compared to the Mini it's an ugly little car. However compare it to the Yaris or Hyundai Getz which it gets compared to and at least it has some character. Like the Honda Fit and the Yaris; flair without oddity are not easily done in a small package. In general I like all small cars, some more than others.

 

What I liked about the MiTo was that I never saw one before (and it's not Asian), not sure how quickly the novelty will wear off.

 

Comparison cars?
