Alfa Milano

[keith]

What a fabulous looking car!! I would be sorely tempted with the hybrid, but compared to my daily runabout - a 2018 DS3 3 door, it’s a lot bigger 22cm longer, and let’s not forget the price, probably 35k for a decent spec hybrid model…
I was considering the new MG3 hybrid which is about to be released. Fully loaded 21k and it’s not as big as the Alfa. Perhaps more my station!!!

Another SUV from Alfa; I suppose they think that's where the money is(?). Pity! At least they tried to put some boomerang like lights on the back and the Sabelt seats look good. Be interesting to see it in the flesh and some test drive reviews.

Looks a cracking little car that.

That monstrosity is a pustule on the **** of automotive design, Alfa should be taken behind the barn and put out if it’s misery.

Whoopee just what the world doesn't need...a fat obese SUV. Along with it's Peugeot, Opel, vauxhall, Citroen, lancia and fiat siblings.

I've written a telegram to the manufacturer

Dear Alfa stop

Please stop

Somebody was having breakfast with a box of cornflakes in front of them and said, WoW that would be a great design for a car, it is atrocious

It clearly doesn't get the vote on here!
Out of interest, what’s the view on the new MG3 Hybrid.

Why when they are trying to increase battery range do they keep pushing more and more brick shaped SUV? I give you the Ford Explorer.

And this hideous thing.

...well, if Maserati is ceasing their SUVs, and Alfa is ceasing the Giulia, it appears that we have clear direction on where Stellantis is positioning each of those marques...

As most have said. Not another fecking SUV.

Alfas are suppose to be beautiful as well and that certainly isn’t. What is going on with that heavy handed front grill….Horrid.

A bit boring style wise for me. Front end is how MG seem to be going but other than that no stand out features for me that make it look any different from everything else that seems to be about these days. Side view and back it could I would not be able to tell it apart from many other cars.

Is this the Giulietta replacement. I like it.

Done well with a boring mini SUV with the Alfa styling touches.

If it keeps Alfa in profit….

Don’t think it is replacing anything Matt. Just their first electric car.

Well you can poke the electric bit of it. Old tech now

Yep, not the future just a stop gap. Car dealer friend will not touch used electric cars as he has said he just cannot sell them. Used buyers do not want them.

Dan my eldest went to an estate agents seminar yesterday and his boss to be took him. He has one of those electric Mustang things but had to bring his petrol car as the Mustang caught fire and was at the dealer. It was only a Small fire which they sorted. He went to pick it up but before he got there the batteries caught fire again.

Well the Italian Government are not Happy with Stellantis and this Polish built Alfa.

They need to sell cars like this like it or not. The most eye opening thing of the Maserati factory tour was when they told us the then upcoming Grecale would cater for around 75% of their total sales...

 

[zagatoes30]

Alfa have already dropped the Giulietta and Mito which leaves only the Giulia as their non SUV option, they now have 3 of those Stelvio, Tonale and now the Milano like every other manufacturer following the trend of what the stats say we want to buy

Incorrect they need to sell cars...cars not abominations like this.

Looks completely normal. Much like a Fiesta (especially in that light blue colour). MG are certainly on the charge, giving everyday people the everyday they car they want, at a low price and will a decent warranty. No wonder the MG is the best selling new car in the U.K. currently.
