After Alfa Romeo dropped the 166 in 2007, there were rumors suggesting that there would be a successor for the model. And after a few years, those rumors seem to be back again. Apparently the company is preparing a new model, called the 169, which will be built on the the LX platform that currently underpins the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger.
The future 169 will not be a classic sedan as was the 166. Instead, Alfa Romeo will adopt a four-door coupe body. The exterior design will be a mix of the Mito, Giulietta, and the 8C.
The new 169 will make its world debut at a major show in 2011 - most likely Geneva - and sales will begin in early 2012.
