DAVID MOTH<br />

ItalIan carmaker alfa <strong>Romeo</strong><br />

turns 100 this year, and <strong>to</strong> celebrate<br />

the firm is <strong>set</strong> <strong>to</strong> launch a <strong>new</strong> version<br />

of a classic model, the Giulietta.<br />

The <strong>new</strong> model will be officially<br />

unveiled at the <strong>Geneva</strong> <strong>Car</strong> <strong>Show</strong> next<br />

month, and based on early pho<strong>to</strong>s it<br />

appears <strong>to</strong> adhere <strong>to</strong> the <strong>Alfa</strong> tradition<br />

of producing beautiful sports cars.<br />

The Giulietta name rekindles<br />

memories of <strong>Alfa</strong>’s classic 1950s<br />

coupe; however it was only decided<br />

upon following complaints that the<br />

original name, Milano, was unsuitable<br />

CLASSICAL MUSIC: The <strong>new</strong>-look Giulietta rekindles memories of <strong>Alfa</strong>’s highly desireable 1950s coupe<br />

following <strong>Alfa</strong>’s decision <strong>to</strong> shut its<br />

Milan fac<strong>to</strong>ry.<br />

Despite the his<strong>to</strong>ric branding,<br />

<strong>Alfa</strong> has come up with entirely <strong>new</strong><br />

architecture for the revamped Giulietta<br />

that is designed <strong>to</strong> enhance road hold<br />

and agility while still providing <strong>to</strong>tal<br />

comfort and safety.<br />

The <strong>new</strong> model will <strong>set</strong> you back<br />

just over £15,000, so in terms of size<br />

and price it will compete with the VW<br />

Golf and the Audi A3, and <strong>Alfa</strong> has<br />

packed it with goodies <strong>to</strong> give it a head<br />

start over its rivals.<br />

All four models come with<br />

<strong>Alfa</strong>’s DNA system which alters<br />

steering, stability control and engine<br />

performance, so you can change your<br />

Owen will be ready <strong>to</strong> take orders<br />

for the Giulietta in the spring, and<br />

is hoping it will make for a bumper<br />

centenary year.<br />

“It’s a great looking car and we’re<br />

hoping it’s going <strong>to</strong> sell really well,”<br />

said a spokesman.<br />

Initially there will be four turbocharged<br />

engines <strong>to</strong> choose from,<br />

including a 1.4 litre MultiAir petrol<br />

engine that gives you 170 HP. All<br />

four options are fitted with a standard<br />

‘start&s<strong>to</strong>p’ system <strong>to</strong> reduce<br />

consumption and emissions.<br />

Later in the year <strong>Alfa</strong> will introduce<br />

a 1750 Tbi Quadrifoglio Verde hot<br />

hatch with 235 BHP, just <strong>to</strong> give<br />

those of you still erring on the side of<br />

German efficiency something extra<br />

<strong>to</strong> think about.<br />
