First Alfa teased us with the 8C but they only made five hundred and it was a bit on the expensive side. Then they showed us the 4C concept which they intend to put into production in 2013. It's mid-engined and rear-wheel drive, so possibly the nearest we'll see to the X1/9 experience, but Alfa only intend to make 2,500 a year and it's still a bit pricey.
But good news may be on the way. Fiat are teaming up with Mazda to develop a new roadster platform. It will underpin the next generation MX-5 and also a new Alfa roadster. Both cars will have their own individual engines and designs, but will share a common platform. Both the Mazda and Alfa variants will be built in Japan.
So, the first affordable, rear-wheel drive roadster from Fiat for many a year, but would you be prepared to drive an Alfa with Japanese DNA?

Bertone's latest design masterpiece, the Nuccio (named after Giuseppe "Nuccio" Bertone) has been making a stir at the Geneva motor show in March this year and more recently at the Beijing Motor Show. In fact a Chinese collector has taken such a shine to the car that they are in negotiations with Bertone to buy it for a cool $2.7 million.

The new Panda is due to go into production in November with a view to launching across Europe in Febraury 2012. We hear that Fiat are looking to follow this up with an Abarth version in 2013. Featuring a tuned 110hp version of the Twin Air engine, it should be a practical, fun, environmentally friendly drive. Sounds like a fantastic package to us.

Well, it actually ended production in 1974, but Lada have been turning out variants of the model ever since, with 18 million sold over 40 years.
