Alfa Milano

Looks like an Alfa factory worker could be in a spot of bother, after this sneaky pic was leaked on Facebook. It shows an undisguised Alfa Milano, the car that will replace the current 147 when it goes on sale next year.
 
Good-looking thing, ain't it? Like a blown-up MiTo with bits of 8C mixed in. It's not often we get to see a car this long before its launch, especially without some sort of weird camouflage or cardboard strapped to its bumpers.

The Milano has some trademark Alfa touches, from the hidden doorhandles to that suggestively plunging grille. It just looks a bit naughty, which is exactly how an Alfa should look.
 
The car sits on an all-new platform, which it will share with the new 159 replacement, as well as upcoming Chryslers after Fiat Group's takeover of the US giant. Let's hope it drives as good as it looks, eh? 

What do you think?

Interesting. The styling works in a much better way than the bug eyed mito.

I really don't like where Alfa's going with its headlights these days, or indeed its front ends in general. Lets just hope the 159 replacement has a more 159ish front end than this.

I prefer Alfa 159 face. This front fits perfectly in the 8C but not in the little models like this.
