The current Alfa Romeo 159 is a bit of a Jekyll-and-Hyde affair. Unspeakably gorgeous on the one hand, its aging, Saab-based platform means its dynamic performance doesn’t come anywhere close to cashing the checks its aggressive styling writes out. So those enamored of its design will be happy, but those disappointed by its drive will be disappointed, to learn that the 159's replacement has reportedly been pushed back until 2012, thereby giving the current model a little longer to live.


This, according to Alfa’s new boss Sergio Cravero – recently promoted after years as communications director following Luca de Meo’s departure – in an interview with Italian daily La Stampa. The statement contradicts previous reports that the new sedan, dubbed Giulia in revival of the classic nameplate, was being rushed into development in light the current model’s poor sales. Sources suggest – and by sources, we mean our own speculation – that the program has been postponed so that it can be integrated with a Chrysler platform, and could, like the replacement for the 166, be built in North America.

Alfa Romeo will officially present its new 149, the Alfa Milano at the Geneva show next year, while the market will have to wait until 2012 for the 159 substitute, the Alfa Giulia. The news comes in a La Stampa interview with Alfa managing director Sergio Cravero.

The MiTo seems to be gaining the sales success hoped for, despite reports of a production line MiTo closure and the redundancy of 700 workers. Alfa Romeo is not revealing its plans for its US re-launch, saying that the Multiair technology will be at the heart of the Fiat-Chrysler deal, but without yet stipulating which Alfa models will embark for the US.

Despite getting negative feedbacks for its performance being unable to match its stylish exterior, the current Alfa Romeo 159 will not be replaced until 2012. No one will question the car’s amazing looks but due to its aging, Saab-based platform, it doesn’t have the chops to give out a great performance.Alfa’s new boss Sergio Cravero, who had served for years as communications director following Luca de Meo’s departure, confirmed this report in an interview with Italian daily La Stampa.


Cravero’s statement is the opposite of a previous report that the new sedan, dubbed Giulia in revival of the classic nameplate, was getting fast-tracked in light of the current model’s poor sales. There are speculations that the Giulia’s arrival was postponed so that it can be integrated with a Chrysler platform, and could then be built in North AmericaThis week is the release version of the Super-model Alfa Romeo MiTo, and now it is the turn version 159.


Externally, the Alfa Romeo 159 Super features unique side mirrors, alloy 17-inch wheels..


The driver and passengers can enjoy a navigation system with maps of European countries, the system Blue & Me, with the ability to connect Bluetooth, and a multifunctional steering wheel in leather braided carbon fiber dash trim, etc.


With regard to the cost of the car, it starts from 23,700 euros for the sedan and 24,900 euros per wagon. Both versions are driven by a 2.0-liter JTDM, capacity of 136 hp


A leaked internal document has revealed full details on Alfa Romeo’s future model line-up. Things will start off rather quiet for the next year or so, but in 2013 the company will come out guns blazing with a long list of models.


At the start of 2013, Alfa Romeo will be unveiling an updated MiTo, followed by a five-door version of the same car. These two models will be followed with the highly anticipated production version of the 4C
