Live from the Paris Motor Show: SEAT Ibiza GLX
We expected Alfa Romeo to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the iconic Giulietta by bringing an early model to the Paris Motor Show.

This space often came at the expense of cargo capacity and handling, and rear-mounted engines were quickly phased out once automakers started toying around with front-mounted engines … Continue reading
