Since revealing exterior shots of its upcoming MiTo hatchback, Alfa Romeo has kept the wraps over the car's interior. Maybe they were still working on the cabin, or maybe they wanted to keep something a mystery until the car's official unveiling this summer. Either way, the cat is apparently out of the bag, with this shot found circulating the internet.
Although the picture is a little grainy and poorly lit, from the looks of things, the MiTo's interior looks like a nice place to be. The center console with its large circular vents closely mirrors that of the 8C Competizione that inspired the MiTo's exterior styling. The dashboard has an intriguing swoosh to it and the steering wheel looks fittingly aggressive and modern, though this example seems to be lacking the manettino switch tipped to come on the more powerful versions.

I was at first really interested on what this little hatch might offer... but immensely fearful that the interior would do less than impress. I don't think these spy shots make me feel any better. I guess I'll switch my focus to the Abarth 500 which seems to sport a little bit more of design attitude inside.

it's just a prototype, wait until the official version is released

Looks like a nicer version of the Yaris interior with a Civic steering wheel.
Still decent though.

Yaris? You mean the Yaris with the stupid central instrument panel and the odd vertical line of HVAC controls below the radio that looks nothing at all like this photo beyond having seats and a steering wheel (but you ascribe the wheel's design to the Civic, so even that commonality with the Yaris is discounted.)

Kind of generic, but then again its a test interior.

Maybe I missed it, but is this thing coming to the US? It is the sexiest hatch around!

I don't like it at all, also the steering wheel looks too big, not a very sporty interior.
