Alfa Romeo shook the auto world when they revealed the new Giulia with its fancy looks and Ferrari-sourced engine. The vibrations of that shock is still being felt, mostly in renderings inspired by the Giulia. This is what the next Alfa Romeo Giulietta could look like if it goes the way of Giulia.

It would be great if Alfa Romeo let the bold attitude that spawned the new Giulia to trickle down to their cherished hatchbacks, Giulietta and MiTo. As you can see in this rendering, the new sedan would make a pretty handsome hatchback. The designer has fiddled a bit with the headlights and stuff to make them fit the Giulietta’s size, but still, it’s a good look for the car.

What we would really like to see is a QV version of Alfa Romeo Giulietta inspired by the Giulia QV. We’re not saying they should put a twin-turbo V6 in this family hatchback, but a beefier version of the 1,750cc turbo unit that powers the 4C – with around 300 horsepower – would turns this car into a proper hatchback. Maybe that’s the next segment the new “sensible” Alfa Romeo should enter.
