Re: Alfa "Junior": your chance to choose a proper name
Plus it looks like you have to be resident in Italy.  Which means I can't vote for 'Junior'.
Nice idea, though - same way they named the old Spider 'Duetto', isn't it?

Re: Alfa "Junior": your chance to choose a proper name
Be nice if it did have a proper name, something evocatively Italian

Re: Alfa "Junior": your chance to choose a proper name
I think the Italian speakers have a distinct advantage here. I have spent a while playing with babel fish - but it's impossible for a non-native Italian speaker to appreciate all the subtle connotations associated with any Italian word.

Re: Alfa "Junior": your chance to choose a proper name
I have an advantage in that I speak Italian.
I have a disadvantage in having a poor imagination!
Perhaps we should team up?

Re: Alfa "Junior": your chance to choose a proper name
Alfa Corsu was my bid.
Is the name of the old (and dying out) Corsican dialect which is quintessentially Italian.
And yes I know Corsica is part of France before you remind me!!!

Re: Alfa "Junior": your chance to choose a proper name
Well considering that it will be just another Hatch, then Alfa Hatch seems like a 'good' name  
This is rumoured to be very close to the real thing
Picture 1
Picture 2
Picture 3
However either Junior or Alfa 4c would be ok or even a return of the Alfetta name
139-?
149-Guilietta
159-Guilia
169-?

Remember it is an Alfa Romeo and I have yet to see an Alfa Romeo that looks as good in a Photo as it does right there in front of you in 'real life'
