Great, now I feel secure in my liking it.


A lot of people agree with me. The 8C's face does not work on this car, IMO. The rest of the car is fine, but the facia is terrible.

There was the Kamal Concept a few years ago which is based off the Fiat Premium platform..

"Hornet" just doesn't sound like an econobox. It sounds like a 70's muscle car. :huh:

Where are all these people?  You're the only one I know of who really dislikes it that much.

Bring over the MiTo GTA and I will be a customer for life.

If they don't need serviced for repairs on their way over here on the freighter like I think they will, a mainstream Italian car will be refreshing for the market.

"Need serviced"?  Please tell me that's a typo.  I know it isn't, but lie to me.

Do you see the time of day that was written?

Exactly.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.

A FWD, unibody Liberty? I'm not too sure about that.

Yeah, that shouldn't happen.  The Liberty is the new Cherokee now.  That should remain a capable 4x4.

I still hate the MiTo. It's really funny looking.......like an owl or something.

Since when do you hate funny-looking small cars?

You are comparing the overall length of a hatchback with that of a sedan? LOL :facepalm:

The Caliber's a Hatch.


Besides, the Grande Punto is a Supermini that competes with the Corsa, Yaris, Fit. The Bravo is a C-segment more along the lines of the Caliber, Civic, Corolla segment.

For reference: The Latest Fit is 161 inches long. 3 inches LONGER than the Grande Punto.

In my head, the Grande Punto is in the Golf -segment.

Anyway, I hope the merger-light with Chrysler woun't kill the plans to make Alfa Romeo RWD again. Does Chrysler have any decent RWD platforms at all?

The LX platform is the only one they have.

Is it decent? (M-B warmovers?)

It's very large and not very dynamic from what I can tell.  I've never driven an LX car, oddly enough.. 

The LX is partially based on the W210 E class (they share the rear suspension design, if not materials, as I recall), but there is also the LY chassis which is based on the LX and underpins the Dodge Challenger.

There's nothing wrong with the LX chassis. The biggest problems with the Charger/Magnum/300 is the tuning of the ancillary bits: springs, dampers, steering, etc.

Atomic

i read recently about chrysler debating whether or not to begin building more 2009 models or start re-tooling plants and start building 2010 vehicles. re-tooling? i wonder what is in store for the 2010 model year for chrysler, dodge and jeep? it is my understanding that not much will change until the release a flood of new vehicles beginning in 2011 (i.e. jeep grand cherokee, fiat-based models, 300, charger). any news out there? friends from chrysler and detroit insiders are mum. i do know that 2010 will bring some changes to the ram, requiring re-tooling.

Sounds like it is a bit big for alfa then. Also, it needs to be very good in order to compete with the next gens MB's and BMW's.

They need to remake the FWD GTVs and bring them over. God I want one.
