Nice vid :) Alfa Romeo maintained my views about the MiTo's sportiness with this video. I know, that the driver pushed the car to the limit for making such pictures, but I feel, that this car could be as sporty as my 145 QV. I hope, that the next track will be a tarmac one ;) I'm really curious to know, how would the MiTo behave in tarmac with a "sport" DNA standing.
Hi folks, it's Stephen here, the English-language Mi.To blogger.
What a great first video! Always good to see a car being tested to the limit.
I remember reading about the Arjeplog test centre (http://www.arjeplogtestcenter.com) in a car magazine years ago.
At this isolated facility in Lapland, Sweden, engineers test the latest prototypes in some of the mose extreme arctic conditions known to man. Every time your car starts on a frosty morning, or holds the road on an icy bend, you can thank the hundreds of hours spent skidding, sliding and jumping around Arjeplog's punishing test tracks
It's a far cry from a warm summer drive around Italy, but every bit as important to the development of a car like the Mi.To.
What a great way to show everyone the Mi.To in action. The video style, videogame related, is a truly original environment. Yesterday, I was actually playing a videogame trying out some of Alfa classic cars :)
Pitbull, there are actually Alfa clubs everywhere in the world, following the comment posted by serrity. For instance, in Argentina -Latin America- there is a group of fans that makes common meetings, to mention one example outside Europe ;) They even have an updated website: www.clubalfaromeo.com.ar

I believe it is sporty, but close ups and short cuts like that one might get also from everyday driving on snow. A bit longer legs would show the true behaviour. A couple of turns in opposing directions in sequence would also be something to look at.
