Alfa Romeo Mi.To
I've been remiss of late, as this is something I should have posted long ago. Alfa Romeo's Mi.To, to be launched later this year, is the company's first foray into the supermini category. I haven't decided whether the name is silly or not, Mi.To having been foisted upon Alfa by parent company Fiat, but any grievances are forgotten after looking at the car.
The Mi.To takes styling cues from Alfa's stunning 8C Competizione, which also represents the direction for forthcoming Alfa Romeo models, including a 147 replacement.
It's easy to see why. The Mi.To is beautiful. There is nothing, in almost any class, that comes remotely close to competing with this car when it comes to looks.
The proportions are spot on, unlike the Brera which is a touch unbalanced. The front profile looks stunning, with the trademark plunging grill nestled between round headlight clusters, and the rear profile is divine. In fact, it would just be easier to say the Mi.To looks awesome from any angle, rather than continue to litter this post with superlatives.
I've fallen in love with this car. I have to own one at some point, if it's the last thing I do.
