Rendered Speculation: Alfa Romeo Milano, the next 147
Although Car magazine says the coming Alfa Romeo Milano (nee 147) is “quite different from the Mito mini,” their rendering of the car makes it look an awful lot like a Mito with two more doors. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, since it just means more of a good thing. Compared to its 147 predecessor, it will be longer and lower, although still relatively Golf-sized.
The Milano comes on the C-Evo architecture that will also be applied to the new Giulia (nee 159) and Fiat’s other medium range cars - like the next Chrysler Sebring. The versatile building block will offer various lengths and widths in FWD and 4-wheel-drive versions, and propulsion will be courtesy of MultiAir engines. Unveiling of the 5-door hatchback is expected at either Frankfurt later this year, or Geneva in 2010.
