Video: Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA official promo film

Following the unveiling of the MiTo GTA Concept at the Geneva Motor Show last week, Alfa Romeo released the first official promo film of its hot hatch that is due to enter production in 2010. Shot in Valencia, the video gives a short taste of the sexy sound delivered by the MiTo GTA's 240-horsepower strong 1.75-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. Too bad that Italians decided to 'dress' the rest of the video with an annoying soundtrack.

On another note, and even though the MiTo GTA does look the part with today's standards, it loses hands down when compared to Giorgetto Giugiaro's stunning 1960s Giulia GTA that is also seen in the video. To be completely blunt, whereas Guilia is the epitome of Italian style, the modern day GTA looks like a comic-esque obese mouse...

Video: Amateur Captures the Alfa Romeo 149 on the Road

Before you begin working on your 'French' in our comment section, allow us to tell you that this amateur video is a only mere 15 seconds long and it just gives us a very tiny glimpse of a camouflaged Alfa Romeo 149 prototype. Like the MiTo, Alfa's new C-segment proposal will draw heavy inspiration from the marque's halo model, the stunning 8c Competizione. As we reported previously, if Fiat seals the proposed deal with Chrysler LLC, Alfa's VW Golf rival will make its way to the States, however, don't expect to see it here before 2011. In Europe, the 149 should hit showrooms by the end of the year or early 2010.

Grazie for the tip Mario!
