Cars like this and the Mitsubishi i are unfortunately named as they ultimately look confusing in written articles.  I don't think it makes much sense from a marketing standpoint - you would want people to be able to read articles about your product without getting confused or having to "decode" it.  Sure it looks different and people may remember it, but most likely they'll remember it for the wrong reasons (hating it).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 1:42PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree, I don't particularly care for the name "mi.to".<br>It kind of makes the car seem childish (mi.to, sounds like the name of some stupid pokemon character)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[CarbonBlack]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 1:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wouldnt care if it was #7, I still want one in the US.  best looking B-segment EVER/<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[geo.stewart]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 1:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wait until you see it in the flesh.

I'd love an alternative to the Mini, and that goes doubly so for an even smaller/lighter car (like the Abarth 500 SS).  My current "compact" is a Scion tC, and about 95% of the time it's just me driving, and the other 5% is me and my wife.  I'm looking to downsize, and aside from the Mini, there's really nothing in the "small, fun-to-drive, good-power-to-weight-ratio" category.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Travis]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 3:49PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree - front on it looks to have a lot of features expanses of bumper.  The Alfa grille looks good in most cases, but this time around I think it's too tall to work right.  Probably has some to do with the pedestrian laws as well (placing grille openings higher might inflect damage). ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Craig]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 4:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want this car so I've let the name grow on me.

It looks like it had some pieces chipped off, and has NOTHING to do with the traditional Alfa font, which is a lot more elegant. the 2nd and 3rd most voted logos are a MILLION times better than this thing which would better suit a japanese electronic gadget...<br><br>Hopefully the car's other qualities will help us forget it's tormented name and badge.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Flea]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 2:03PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Don't think of it as Mi.To, think of it as Me Too... as in "BMW's making lots of money, Me Too!"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tucker]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 2:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[Good one..Lol !!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[RobZ4]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 9th 2008 2:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Alfa reveals voters' choice for new MiTo badge]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/04/09/alfa-reveals-voters-choice-for-new-mito-badge/</guid><description><![CDATA[I'm with the others who are anxiously awaiting this car.
