    Glad to see someone's selling cars, especially ones that might be fun to drive.

    Finally! I can't buy the base because it's too boring, I can't buy a GTA because it's too expensive, but this one: I can't buy it because we don't get it here.
    It's like Goldilocks and the Three Bears that she read about but never met.

    I keep hoping and praying that Americans finally realize how cool hot hatches are and buy them. I've seen glimmers of hope in the Focus sales figures, and the fact that VW seems to think we're finally catching on. Let's hope there is enough demand that we can get some more offerings from Europe like this and the Fiat 500 (especially the Abarth).

    I wonder what the front will look like with a number plate, obligatory everywhere in Europe.

    I think the choice of music is perfect for this car, it is Fiat Grande Punto or an Opel Corsa in disguise, for posers.

    Please don't hate me for saying this fellow Jalopinites. I do not like this car. For reasons I am not going to delve into, but its much more then statistics and design aesthetics. Which aren't half bad on this car, but nonetheless.


    I do not approve.

    @damnelantraâ„¢: I think it sounds pretty good, but yeah, with the right pipe it's not hard to get that kind of sound out of a 4-banger.


    I still think my Si sounds better than the GTA (or whatever is in this recording), but I sprung for a proper set of plumbing, not some silly fart-can.


    That reminds me, I still have a high-flow header and CAT I need to install...

    This Alfa in particular doesn't do anything for me.. the rear end maybe, but the front.. zero. I would take the original GTA race car any day over this Metoo. I fail miserably to see why there is such strong praising behind this car.


    Is this thing FF or FR?

    It sounds like a V8! They shouldn't compare the MiTo with the sexy GTA. This could backfire, making the used car market grow exponentially while leaving the MiTo in the lots.

    @Syrax:


    I like you, I respect you, but if you think that sounds like a proper small-block Chevy, you may need hearing aids.


    Not that it doesn't sound good, especially for a comparatively screamin', rev-happy four cylinder; it's just not the thunder and rumble of a V8.

    @Syrax: Funny, it sounded like a V-12 to me. Either way, I'll bet a dollar it was dubbed in and the real car doesn't sound much like it.

    @pauljones-Jo Schmo's saintly and opposite twin.: It sounds like a V8. Not a good screaming V8. Most of that depends on the exhausts and mufflers. Hear this M3 and say that MiTo revving at the start of the movie (assuming that the rev was from the MiTo) doesn't sound better
