Wait until you see it in the flesh. You might be slightly disappointed. It is tiny and really based on a Grande Punto platform, designed for Europe. I would wait for the bigger Alfas.

^^^^ Ummm, some of us want a small car, and don't have the need to fit a family of 5 + a weeks worth of luggage every time we leave the house. 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.

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).
