Alfa 149 spy picture

This Alfa 149 spy picture was not actually shot by a spy, but by an amateur driving along a highway. Although just 15 seconds long, the clip shows a camouflaged four-door Alfa 149 that seems to be designed with the Alfa 8C Competizione in mind. But the video quality is very poor. Unfortunately there is no information about the engine or transmission choices for the Alfa 149.
The Alfa 149 might be unveiled sometimes at the end of this year or the beginning of 2010.

Alfa Romeo White Edition

It seems that the white car obsession that caught Europe and the U.S. has reached the shores of Japan too. The special edition Alfa Romeo White Edition model range has been launched on the Japanese market. The Alfa Romeo White Edition extends to the following models: the 147 2.0 Twin Spark Selespeed, the GT 2.0 JTS Selespeed, Alfa Brera 3.2 JTS Q4 Q-Tronic and the Alfa Spider 2.2 JTS Selespeed. The prices for the new special edition model range start at 3.5 million Yen for the Alfa 147 and go as high as 6.1 million Yen for the Brera.

Unfortunately this is all the information we could get on the Alfa Romeo White Edition from company's Japanese website.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 2010

The evolution of the Alfa Romeo
Now on the eve of its centenary year, the name is a tribute to a legend of Alfa Romeo and automobile history. Giulietta is the vehicle which a whole generation of motorists dreamed of in the 1950s, but which also made the dream of owning an Alfa Romeo possible for the first time, combining availability and first-class comfort with technical excellence.

Ultra-efficient turbo engine
The engines, all of which are Turbo, and the Start & Stop technology combine increased power with reductions in fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. At the launch, five engines will be available, where the 1750TBi in the exclusive Cloverleaf configuration is sure to stand out.
