Alfa Romeo UK Records Highest Yearly Sales Figure Since 2002

Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo has increased its market share in the UK, recording – at the end of 2011 – a volume share increase of 30.8%, while also recording the highest yearly new registration figure for the marque (11,563 cars) since 2002.






In a market place where automotive manufacturers’ average market share decreased by 4.4%, Alfa Romeo bucked the trend by gaining the third largest manufacturer market share increase for the year.

The success of the brand has been down to a combination of factors, from the latest product line-up, to its improved dealer network – which now boasts a top 10 positioning in the J.D. Power UK customer satisfaction survey – and the highly competitive finance and incentive offers available on each model.

Alfa Romeo Giulia of the Future by Vincent Montreuil

Independent French designer Vincent Montreuil is one of the many Alfisitis eagerly awaiting their beloved brand to come up with something special. To keep him occupied and perhaps to give Alfa Romeo some food for thought, Montreuil came up with these convincing renderings of a modern Alfa Romeo coupe.Fit for the 21st century, it's a front-engined rear-wheel-drive modern interpretation of the legendary 1960s Giulia GTA conceived as a 'sport and light coupe concept.'

2013 Alfa Romeo 4C is going to the U.S. in 2013

The Italian based automaker Alfa Romeo is planning to introduce the 4C sports car in the United States in 2013 in production form.

Even if the Alfa Romeo 4C isn’t quite a new appearance in the automotive media, with the vehicle hitting several international auto shows in its concept and prototype forms, this is actually the first time in a long period when we are talking about the production version of the sports car. According to the insideline.com, the Alfa Romeo 4C will officially go on sale in the United States in 2013, where the model could be priced at 45.000 USD or even less.

Alfa Romeo will be using the production version of its stunning 4C sports car concept to spearhead its relaunch in the U.S., which as we previously reported has been pushed back to 2013 due to design delays for several crucial models, one of which is the highly anticipated Giulia mid-size sedan.

Following years of Grand Prix success, Alfa Romeo withdrew from Formula 1 at the end of 1951 and turned its attention to creating sports cars. Its maiden effort in this venture was the Tipo C52 Disco Volante (Flying Saucer), named after the aerodynamic bodywork featuring prominent overhangs.The arresting design was the work of the great Milanese carrozzeria Touring, the company responsible for the 1900, Alfa's first all-new design of the post-war era.

New Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB Turismo

The Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.4 TB Turismo has caused a terrible row. In the blue corner was my friend who claimed this medium-sized hatchback is a pitiful excuse for a car. What 'absolute nonsense',

I exclaimed, as I defended its honour in the red corner. My friend said the Ford Focus has sharper handling than the Giulietta, that the Volkswagen Golf feels more robust, and that at £17,755 this entry-level fashion statement is rather expensive. Unfortunately, despite being made by a long-haired lout, these were valid points. The Focus starts at £13,995 and the Golf – that is possibly tough enough to outlast time – costs from £15,850. Okay, but none of these factors detract from the new Giulietta.

Alfa Romeo to target MX-5

Alfa Romeo is setting its sights on the Mazda MX-5 with a £25,000 two-seater sports car to replace the now-defunct Brera Spider.

The focus is on less weight and more compact dimensions, so the car will be a true successor to the sixties ‘Graduate’ Alfa Spider.

The newcomer will form an important part of Alfa’s strategy when it returns to the US in 2013 after more than 15 years. The first model to arrive there will be the 4C, revealed in concept form at March’s Geneva Motor Show, followed by the 159-replacing Giulia, a saloon based on the Chrysler 300C and this two-seater.


Power for the roadster will come from a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine – most likely a detuned version of the Giulietta Cloverleaf’s 1.7-litre, delivering around 150bhp.
