			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The American market really hasn’t seen the functionality of a hatchback as a family car. Premium brands like Mercedes Benz and BMW make small cars but both do not sell small cars in the U.S. The idea is shared by Alfa Romeo which might field the big sedan Giulia to mark its return to the U.S. shores.</p>
<p>The Giulia will lead th<a href="http://www.alfa-romeo-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/alfa-romeo-in-the-usa.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-36" title="Alfa Romeo in the USA" src="http://www.alfa-romeo-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/alfa-romeo-in-the-usa-275x102.jpg" alt="Alfa Romeo in the USA" width="275" height="102" /></a>e comeback of the Alfa Romeo everyday car in the United States after a 15 year hiatus. Earlier reports revealed that the MiTo hatchback and the Milano will be the first models to roll out of the U.S. dealerships.</p>
<p>Alfa Romeo sees the Giulia to be the car that Americans will find interesting. The car manufacturer plans to build cars with Chrysler and inject the Alfa Romeo Soul that the consumers can appreciate and find useful.</p>
<p>Alfa Romeo is now a division of Fiat and they cannot afford to make a costly mistake when they try to re-enter the U.S. A jump in sales is what Alfa Romeo badly needs. Alfa Romeo is looking for short term gains as of now and cannot wait a few more years to see results.</p>
<p><span id="more-33"></span>The Italian car maker, after doing a case study of the MiTo, just did not find a positive feedback from the U.S. market about the hatchback. A luxury, small car like the MiTo might find some buyers and sell about 20,000 units annually but that is not an acceptable figure for Alfa Romeo.</p>
<p>Bigger sedans are favored also for having a bigger price margin which can help the car maker rake in some profits on a per unit basis compared to hatchbacks or smaller cars. The U.S. which is still trying to recover from a recession does not the see good economics in acquiring cars like the MiTo.</p>
<p>The industry is awaiting though the result of the collaboration of <a href="http://www.chryslercarblog.net/" target="_blank">Chrysler</a> and Alfa Romeo. The companies might share platforms but everyone is wondering how one brand will look different from the other.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Fiat is well-know for being on the forefront of developing diesel technologies but it still wants to conquer new grounds by adding fuel saving technology to petrol engines. Fiat will use the MultiAir system in the Mito Hatch from Alfa Romeo which is soon to debut in Europe.</p>
<p>MultiAir power plants is said to generate 10% more power and 15% more torque. Aside from these, car owners can also save about 10% more fuel and lower significantly their emissions.</p>
<p>The Mito 1.4L hatch will be the guinea pig for the MultiAir technology. This variant is will be released with engine options of 170hp, 135hp, or 105hp.</p>

<p>The MultiAir system relies on the breakthrough design of the electro-hydraulic valve which makes saving more fuel and decreasing emission possible. The combustion of the petrol engine and its ability to conserve fuel is dependent on the quality of the air charges in the cylinders. </p>
<p><span id="more-22"></span>In conventional engines, the air inside the cylinders is controlled by adjusting the pressure through the camshafts and throttle valve, and by the opening of the intake valve. One drawback of the MultiAir system is the 10% of energy wasted when it pumps the air to reach atmospheric <a href="http://rspconcepts.com/">exhaust</a> pressure.</p>
<p>The use of electro-hydraulic set up t control the valves compared to the electro-mechanical system is key to the <a href="http://fuel-efficiency-tips.com/">fuel efficiency</a> of the MultiAir engines. Stats also reflect only a small power drawn from the engine to achieve its purpose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are many people who as if the Alfa Romeo have any Green Cars? Ask them the meaning of green cars and they will not be able to say. Most people who drive <a href="http://www.alfa-romeo-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/alfa-romeo-mito.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-13 alignright" title="Alfa Romeo Mi.To" src="http://www.alfa-romeo-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/alfa-romeo-mito-275x206.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="206" /></a>cars know the terrible situation the CO2 emissions of their car are causing to the environment of the world. They also know that sooner or later, the natural oil resources of the world which has been helping them to drive their cars for decades will soon get exhausted and then there will be no way to drive their cars, unless they turn to <a href="http://greencarfuels.net/" target="_blank">green car fuels</a>!</p>
<p>Hence, the scientists of most motor organizations are trying to find out alternative means and fuels of driving cars and some of these alternative means include the use of hydrogen fuel and also using electricity to drive cars. The cars that run on alternative fuels and who emission does not harm the environment as much as the natural fuels does are better known as green cars.</p>
<p><span id="more-12"></span>Check out with any car manufacturing company and you will find that they have one or more such model in their production lines. In fact a few of them have even successfully produced environment friendly cars. The Alfa Romeo is not far behind too and they too have produced cars that can be termed as green cars. The new Alfa Romeo Mi.To is a new generation of cars from the stables of Alfa Romeo. This compact car with a sporty look is the first green car to be produced by Alfa Romeo.</p>
