No, of course not. Like 159 or Brera? No, it would be funny. They are small, but they are pretty. In Alfa Romeo they know what they are doing. I am sure of that. For me GT is beauty (Black line is fantastic) and she was almost mine (in last minute 159 won). Now every time I see GT, I'm suffering. |

"J.D." > wrote in message
... > She is not looking bad ... > http://alfaromeogiulietta.it/ I hate to get all 'emporers new clothes', but isn't this just a mito with an extra door. Alfa seem to be heading down the ford (amongst others) line - all models just look the same - a fiesta looks like a focus, but slightly further away! |

Noooo! How can any Alfisti say that?! The reason for it is that the Fiesta is a re-hash of the Grande Punto / Bravo design themes.... and given that the Giulietta is based on the Bravo, it's no surprise. It's definitely a 'grower' - the more I look at it, the more I like it. Can't really get into the MiTo, but Mrs H adores them, so I have a feeling that when we replace the 156 (which I've decided I really should keep for a while longer....), we'll be arguing over a MiTo or Giulietta. -- SteveH |
