As I understand Alfa Romeo bialbiero and boxer were taken out of manufacturing lines because of production costs and unification of family of FIAT engines.

Dear forum members, Sometimes I'm looking for the information about vintage Italian cars, legendary persons or famous people. The best way to find it is to check period sources of information, online archives of the press. I'm pretty sure you knows Italian internet better than me All that I could find are by the links: Biblioteca Storica Digitale dell'ACI: Home (Great archive of the ACI magazines, search works not so good as I wish, because of that need to check magazines manually) V8/Blog (An amazing work of scanning of period Autosprint articles of 70's and others magazines) elenco testate | biblioteca dello sport (Very good archive of the sporting press of the period, you can find even find Alfa Romeo: Tutte le vetture dal 1910 by Fusi online) However probably exist another online archives or torrent web sites where possible to download magazines. I'm really interesting in Auto Italiana, Il Quadrifoglio, Alfa Corse magazines. If someone know anything more about topic, please, share the links

As I remember Citroen even used 3 cylinder version of the engine for the concept Eco 2000 (SL10) of 1984 with just 2.1 l/100 km of fuel consumption

New Volvo by design will be very close to Levante mules

Hmmm... I live in Canada and I can say that here are more C-hatches than C-sedans. Mazda 3, Ford Focus, Subaru Impreza, Kia Forte, VW Golf, MB B-klass, Hyundai Elantra - most of them are hatches! Even Smart are hatches ))))))) B and C classes markets are very close to European. More closer than you think. I think the main difference is not in the bodies but in the engines. As I remember only Smart and VW sell cars with diesel engines in A and C classes. Generally MB, BMW, VW and Audi offer diesels for cars and SUV. There are only two exemptions for American manufacturers - Chevrolet Cruze Diesel and Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. And another difference. Customers buy coupe! Ford even transformed previous Focus to coupe! I think almost every car manufacturer offers coupe of all sizes. And small coupe are cheap I mean Subaru BRZ, Scion tC, Veloster/Forte/Elantra. As I see by past model lines, several years ago a lot of car makers offered SW. But now just BMW, Mercedes, Volvo and Cadillac offer Station Wagons. It's real problem to buy not expensive wagon! P.S. I think FIAT made a big mistake when decided to make Dart as sedan. I would offer hatch (as Caliber was) and SW, or mix of those two types of body (as current Impreza) I would say there are more chances for success for current Giulietta QV than for Giulietta sedan. And there is no chances for success with current engine line in America. Buyers prefer 4l 2.0/2.5 aspirated and 2.0/2.5 Turbo in C-class. 2.0 is the cheapest for low cost trim. They still can't understand how can be the car in C-class with the engine displacement lower than 2 liters, even turbocharged. It's psychological moment. All engines have to equip with automatic gearboxes, but on the top line (most powerful engine) should be the choice between manual and automatic. Traction doesn't matter for C-class.

Original comments was

I can't distinguish the car. Probably Alfa? The picture was made today by Alfa-Maserati test driver

The most logical, in my opinion, FIAT will keep 1.4 - 120-180 hp (CD1) engines for European market. As I remember the presentation describes situation till 2018. I think they will keep in production current Giulietta without changing of engines.

Abarth prepared prototype of 037 with 4WD for European Rally Cross Championship. Additionally they made as mules Turbo version, Turbo+Volumex version and Evo 3.

I'm so sorry, but what ZF bought? TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) ot TRW (supplier of automotive systems)

Giulietta Junior? They decided to repeat 146 Junior with 1.4 TS engine and TI appearance?

4WS was developed by Abarth as a part of Delta Evo project. But problems with supplying of Siemens components in time (BMW 8 was in priority) were resulted in abandoning full wheel steering system. 2 pedal project was made by Abarth as well. They used Valeo components. I think Project was redesigned for Ferrari Mondial. Agnelli's Delta Cabrio was fit two pedals system as well, but new owner replaced it for conventional system. I think the same system was fit SAAB 900 Sensonic (Opel Vectra Platform)
