| Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2010 |
Ladies and Gents, say hello to the new Alfa Romeo Giulietta. Then say goodbye. Because although Alfa Romeo says this car is slated to reach “all major markets,” apparently that doesn’t include North America.
Following its public unveiling at the Geneva Motor Show last month, Alfa has finally released full details and a whole slew of photos of the new five-door sport-hatch. And whether it makes it Stateside or not, this stands to be a pivotal, make-it or break-it product for the stoic Italian marque that celebrates its centenary this year.
Aside from this being a new Alfa – which is reason enough for many to sit up and pay attention – what you’re looking at here is Italy’s chief contender for the coveted Ford Focus/Volkswagen Golf segment. And quite a contender it is, from the looks of things.
The Giulietta is the second new vehicle Alfa has introduced to replace the long-serving 147 hatchback, joining the three-door MiTo in anchoring the brand’s range while reviving a classic nameplate for the marque. Stylistically, it’s also the third model to follow the company’s newest design direction, following the lead set by the flagship 8C Competizione and the aforementioned MiTo. And while the styling may have lost some fans in its transition from supercar to supermini, it appears to translate better to the Giulietta’s longer frame better.
