Alfa Romeo MiTo - online puzzles

The Alfa Romeo MiTo (Type 955) is a three- door supermini officially introduced on June 19, 2008, at Castello Sforzesco in Milan, Italy with an international introduction at the British Motor Show in 2008. The three- door hatchback was available in all Alfa Romeo 's major markets in stages from July. Designed by Centro Stile Alfa Romeo, the design is believed to be inspired by the 8C Competizione. The MiTo production ended in week 27 2018.

Naming

The new car was provisionally named the "Junior". In November 2007, a European competition was launched in which the public had a chance to name the car. The winner from each country could win an Alfa Romeo Spider or an Alfa Romeo mountain bike. The winning name was "Furiosa", which scored well in Italy, France, United Kingdom and Germany, but not in Spain.

However, on March 14, 2008, Alfa Romeo announced officially that the name would instead be "MiTo", an abbreviation of the cities Milano ( Milan ) & Torino ( Turin ), because it was designed in the former and was to be assembled in the latter; the name is also a play on the Italian word "mito", meaning "mythical" or "legendary".
