The new Alfa Romeo Mito GTA will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show next week. Looks pretty tough for such a small car. Featuring a 1.75 litre turbo engine and 240hp through the front wheels with their Q2 diff (LSD). Should be a ball terror.

Being in touch of my feminine side ain't a bad thing. Or touching them either

I'll reserve final judgement til I see it in the flesh/metal/plastic, but it does have some good lines for sure... The latest jobs from Alfa have been quite stunning.

That's seriously one ugly car, looks like an attempt at a modern day VW beetle.
 :Is the engine in the boot?

No Anti Italian bias from me.
The only problem on here is the fear of FWD from all the RWD owers who often aren't aware of what FWD can do (and choose to ignore every time they get blown away by a hot hatch). http://www.autocar.co.uk/CarReviews/....5T-RS/238343/
