Default Alfa Romeo planning NEW Giulietta Sprint Coupe

From AB

Connoisseurs of historic Alfa Romeos – which seem to be coming out of
the woodwork now that the firm is celebrating its 100th anniversary –
will recall that the original Giulietta came in a number of variants.
A hatchback like the reincarnated model wasn't one of them, however.

The first of the Giuliettas was actually the Sprint, a two-door coupe
that debuted in 1954. The sedan and Spider convertible (like the one
we drove in Montreal) came along later. So with the new Giulietta
hatchback already hitting markets around the world, speculation is
already surfacing of a revival of the Sprint in a new coupe variant.

If you're thinking a two-door Giulietta would step on its baby
brother's toes, you're not far off. The Mito was envisioned as part
of a two-pronged approach to replacing the old 147. But with the Alfa
GT in need of replacement, a Giulietta Sprint could help Alfa
capitalize on the new platform which is also set to underpin a new
crossover as well.
