Is the 149 to be based off the Bravo platform?

Sure looks like it has an Alfa grill on it...

And in this picture the lower heat exchanger looks like it might be a front-mount intercooler as there seems to be a second exchanger above and behind the obvious one (note the tighter core pattern thingy)...

"Alfa Romeo customers are typically aged between 27 and 40, so the absence of a three-door derivative makes sense as these folks are likely to be family-oriented, not only looking for sporty inclination in their cars, but also for space."

If you want space, buy a Tahoe. I hope that little fellow weighs less than 3800 lbs with that 1.4 engine.

I found that line in the write-up to be a bit odd.....since Alfa is planning a 3-door. They're just calling it by a different name, originally 'Junior', now....something they've not yet decided upon.
