Default Maaaaasssive....

overhang in the front! I thought my A3 was bad.

Has Alfa actually said for sure that they're coming to the US in some meaningful manner or just some sort of trickle?

Default I had it before I moved here and.....

the only car I could have bought here to be close or better for some aspects to the 147 was an A3.
In italy/Europe the most popular hatch-backs are 147 and A3....all TDI though, no FSI.

Default The 147 is near the end of it's design life. Interestingly it was originally designed by the

guy now in charge of various branches of VAG design, Walter de' Silva - along with his old Alfa design buddy Wolfgang Egger who now heads Audi design.

Suggestion is the face lift coming to the A3 next model year will look a bit like this:

Another suggestion is this:

Rumours have it the 149 (147 replacement) will look somewhat like this:

The 166 is going to replaced soon, and word is that the top version will use a detuned Maserati V8 and awd in a large sedan formatt:

But what interests me most as a daily driver is the Alfa Junior (but which unlikely to come to the US even if Alfa returns):
