Alfa Romeo Giulietta at Geneva Motor Show

By Matt Brogan | March 03rd, 2010

Alfa Romeo has unwrapped its stunning Giulietta at the Geneva Motor Show this afternoon, a model that introduces owner Fiat’s new “Compact” architecture platform.

The new underpinnings are said to satisfy even the most demanding customers wants for road-holding, safety and agility.

To be offered in five different guises, Giulietta will include two top-spec Quadrifoglio Verde variants (fitted with a 175kW petrol engine), two mid-level Distinctive versions (offering a 127kW turbo-diesel engine), and an entry-level Distinctive version (fitted with a 126kW turbo-petrol engine) will also be made available.

The new five-door hatch goes on sale in Europe this May. It is not yet known if the Giulietta will make it to Australia, though if the looks are anything to go by, we’ve certainly got our fingers crossed.

175kw in something that size is Gti and S3 territory.

Looks promising

This is nothing new tho, Alfa Romeo did put a 180kw V6 in 147 GTA and the GT. In my opinion perhaps a 130i or golf R32 is better choice.

How do you know? driven one have we? of course not just another Alfa basher making asumptions.

Also, is Gti and S3 in the same territory???

Yes they are. Technically they are all hot hatches.

Wow that much power in something the size of an Astra, and its got Alfa looks and character to boot! Even the 4cyl engines look promising.

Stunning !
can’t wait to see what replaces the 159. Hopefully Alfa’s (Fiats, same thing) ownersship of Chrysler will see a return to RWD – now just get your quality right Alfa because the stylings perfect and I’ll defect from ze Germans.
