MiTo convertible coming to the US in 2010?
The rumors say that, if the Alfa Romeo MiTo makes it to America in 2010, there should be several different configurations available. Besides an estate and a three door, there could very well be a convertible quite similar to the snappy rendition shown above. Based on the Fiat Grande Punto platform, the drop-top would give the Mini convertible some competition for buyer's euros dollars. Early word is all four motor options, including a diesel, will be turbo-charged and capable of churning out 90 to a 155 galloping horses. No word on what kind of mileage figures to expect yet but we think it's safe to assume that it will meet and probably exceed those of it's BMW-built Mini competitor.

Awesome! My brother owned a 1964 Giulietta Sprint, which I was lucky enough to drive one year (we traded cars-- he used my '58 VW bug to deliver papers, and I drove the Alfa to Santa Monica High School). Alfas are amazingly wonderful driver-center cars. Now, if only the MiTo keeps the Alfa mystique intact!

I'd love a Spider with a JTDM engine, but if that doesn't come over here this one will do.
