Re: Alfa Romeo 'Junior'

Is there going to be more information, photos, pictures of this car released during the Geneva Motor Show?

I've been really interested in this car for a while but there isn't much info out there to go on

Re: Alfa Romeo 'Junior'

UPDATE !!!!!! . Last night the Johannesburg Alfa club hosted Alfa Romeo South Africa CEO Giorgio Gorelli. He arrived in a GT Q2 (newly launched in SA, and , and heavily disguised Junior !!!!.

It was the 1.4 Turbo, and it is in SA for a shakedown in our hot climate. The testing will be done in the Northern Cape, a sparcely populated and hot area of SA.

The little car is impressive, very nice inside, with some cool toys. The VDC has a "joystick" control, so we can play a bit, the trip computer is quite elaborate.
Unfortunately the 1.4 sounds "uninspiring" at most, I hope the production models sound more like Alfa than Fiat.

Sorry , cameras were not allowed, so no pics.

Re: Alfa Romeo 'Junior'

Great inside scoop Eric, thanks

The VDC joystick sounds like the manettino they've been speaking about

Glad the inside looks better than we were led to believe, must do something about the sound though! Thanks for the info.

That could be easily fixed with a little work on the exhaust

Re: Alfa Romeo 'Junior'

I see the 'photoshops' of the car shown on Progetto955.it have been removed......They were suposedly photoshopped versions of genuine photos.......done so that they would not be taken down......

Re: Alfa Romeo 'Junior'

I can tell you from last night's experience that the "renderings" are actually spot-on
