Truckload of Alfa Romeo Giuliettas Scooped in Michigan

According to Jalopnik, this here truck that's loaded with a bunch of Alfa Romeo Giulietta hatchbacks was scooped on a Michigan freeway heading towards the Chrysler Group's headquarters in Auburn Hills. Other than some vague statements and on-off promises, Fiat Group officials have not made any final announcements on the re-launch of the Alfa Romeo brand in the States. So unless the Italians are getting ready to surprise us, we'd say that these vehicles will most likely be used as press cars and/or for display purposes at dealer meetings and possibly even at upcoming motor shows.

Alfa Romeo Milano Test Mule Pulled Over by German Police

Here's a scene you don't see very often. An Alfa Romeo Milano prototype in full body cladding was stopped by police officers for what has been reported to be a simple routine check just outside the Nurburgring circuit in Germany. A nearby photographer was quick to snap the episode on film with the photos being published by 'Infomotori'. Some of you may recall a similar incident concerning a 2010 BMW 5-Series test car that occurred in May and was caught on film - if you don't remember, click here.

The new Alfa Romeo Milano, which will replace the 147 compact hatch in Alfa Romeo's lineup, was unceremoniously revealed earlier this year when an insider managed to photograph several examples of the Milano without a single trace of camouflage at the firm's Italian factory. You can see those pictures here and here.
