Beautiful as it is, the Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione is widely regarded as a miserable handler. That could be chalked up to the 1990s-era Maserati platform on which it was built, but one way or another, the very thought of giving such such an archaic chassis more power to contend with could be the worst...

Milanese coachbuilder and design house Zagato is known for some unspeakably beautiful works of rolling art. The Perana Z-One and Fiat 500 Coupe are two recent examples that have caught our eye, but even Zagato managed to out-do itself with the stunning TZ3 Corsa. Unveiled at the Concorso d’Eleganza...

The beauty of Alfa Romeo is that it embodies the same sort of Italian flair as Ferrari and Maserati, but in a smaller, more accessible package.

Fiat is a few months away from awarding 200 Fiat-branded retail outlets to select Chrysler dealers. The first vehicle those new stores will sell will be the Fiat 500, and there won’t be any Chrysler, Dodge or Jeep-branded models in sight. But that doesn’t mean Fiat will have those dealerships...

The Alfa Romeo brand is a tough one to pin down… or perhaps it’s parent company Fiat that’s elusive, or maybe just CEO Sergio Marchionne that refuses to be a fixed target. New Alfa-Abarth-Maserati CEO Harald Wester has said that Alfa’s long-term sales target is 500,000 vehicles...

Even though our colleague Paul Esienstein might not agree, car shows serve a few pretty great purposes. Besides reuniting with old colleagues, pressing manufacturers’ flesh and geeking out over (certain) booth babes, it’s the wild and well done concept cars that get our juices flowing...

Romeo & Giulietta. The names go together like gin and tonic. And now, finally, after a quarter century, the star-crossed nameplate has returned. We just got our first look up close here at the Geneva Motor Show, and it’s left us hoping – nay, praying – that the sumptuous new hatchback...

Imagine you’re a male (Autoblog surveys say most of you are, so this shouldn’t be hard). You’ve been invited to the Playboy Mansion for their annual Halloween party. You arrive, grab a flute of bubbly, get introduced to the crusty remains of Hugh Hefner and after a few minutes lay...

We usually close our posts by inviting you to check out our images, but this time we’re starting here: Go into the gallery and have a look at the little green clover logo adorning the front fender of the new Alfa MiTo Quadrifoglio Verde. You’ll notice that the classic Alfa performance...

It appears the Japanese fans of the Alfa Romeo MiTo have now a reason to be even happy: they just received the new MiTo Imola Edition! The new edition will be manufactured in just 150 units, each carrying the Imola Yellow color and a 1.4-liter T-Jet engine. Also, the car comes with 18 inch aluminium...

Alfa Romeo has been planning a return to the U.S. market for some time now, but the latest news emerging out of Italy suggests that the brand will not be bringing its recently introduced and ultra stylish MiTo hatch to American dealers, instead focusing on larger cars. The news comes directly from Alfa...
