just read a couple of today's posts over on the BB. Apparently the new "centrodocumentazione" of the archivo storico website is up and running.....what our old friend Marco Fazio graciously used to give us for free now costs 20 euros it seems: Alfa Romeo Bulletin Board & Forums - View Single...

Alfa published some of the development models and theme sketches See how it could look Alfa Romeo Giulietta! | Vehicle Pedia - all about cars, cars history, cars reviews, cars tuning there was a 145 alike proposal...

It seems to me that with the MiTo and the new Giulietta, they have taken bits off an 8c, slightly deformed them, placed them on a Bravo/Punto and called it an Alfa. These cars don't seem to be as unique as the Brera and the 147 when they were first realised, which were not designed by Centro...

I just read today that Arese design centre is closed and Alfas will be designed in Turin in future. According to Quattroruote ironic that Mito means Milano/Torino and the new 147 is called Milano!

The Centro Stile in Arese is no more :( All designers were either put on partly paid leave (and will probably be fired) or integrated in the design centres in Turin at Fiat and Lancia. News: AlfaSport Club

Just some impression of the Mi.To

It took a while before I received them, but I have now two drawings made at the design department Centro Stile.
