Can you tell Alfa-Romeo had to change the name of its 147-replacing Giulietta at the last minute? And yes, this is an official image.

Nothing wrong with this pictures: it is a beautiful car with a nice girl name. Contain yourself, sailors.
Didn’t we do this story about a week ago?
But yeah, you could name it CamaroChevelleSuburban and I’d still buy it.
Yup. Call it Nazimobile and I’d still consider it.
I for one am thrilled to see Alfa use “Giulietta” again – a melodious, wonderfully traditional name for a very beautiful car. Now if I could please have one.
No handle on the back door?
It’s hidden as part of the window frame, other Alfa Romeos have similar door handles. Look at the back / right side of the window you can seen it.
It’s evident only near the “G”. It’s mostly seamless.
That’s a pretty blatant chop.
Great looking car, though. I’d be all over it.
Wow, it might be the first ugly Alfa in (at least recent) history … looks like a Lancia humped the last generation of Alfa…
Usually I’m not into weird, but it is, after all, an Italian car, and it is, after all, an Alfa. I’d almost be tempted…
Who cares for the name. It’s an Alfa, it’s a small-medium compact, it has great engines, a great ride, makes a great sound…Ummm could be called the Alfa Romeo Sebring, and I’d still dream of having one!
Sebring is a hallowed name in the world of sports car racing. The fact that a nauseating Chrysler product sullies its storied name is no reason an Alfa (more likely an Audi, Porsche, or Puegeot) should not take its name and wear it with pride.
Right you are Mr. Mpresley! I beg your apologies. Guess I was thinking more of the car than of the track.
I do stand corrected.
The only thing wrong with this picture is the same thing wrong with any MiTo picture. I can’t buy one. If someone would make it possible to (legally) buy, register and insure one of these in Texas, I’d buy one right now, today. It’s a shame. But, I’ve been pining for a MiTo already, so this isn’t really something i’m not used to dealing with on a daily basis.
There’s not much in the NA market at this point in time that I have much interest in, but I’d pay for this. I need a gray market car dealer, or Fiat to just start throwing these on some boats and dragging them over. 2011 Mito QV please. Can I preorder?
The nameplate looks like a bad Photoshop job.
Exactly. If that was done in-house, someone should be fired. This is an important new product and to have something less than pixel perfect looks like a GM product release.
Would someone with Photoshop skills please graft a Brera front end on this otherwise nice-looking car? I think such a combo would make BMW reconsider its next 3-series.
Alfa has a fine tradition of offering up an ugly sedan every few years. The 1750 Berlina, and most recently the Milano/75. The new Giulietta breaks with that tradition. Que bella macchina!
I’m in a crowd of one here, I don’t like the styling at all in fact I think it’s downright fugly. Especially the front end, it just looks weird to me. This may sell as a niche market vehicle if imported but IMO the styling will stop it dead in its tracks from any semi mainstream sales.
It’s an Alfa – styling can be, umm, controversial.
I like it, but I don’t think anyone could reasonably argue with someone who hates it. Styling is always subjective…
