Ever since the resurgence of the Mini, just about every one else has been struggling to make some decent competition but Alfa have taken it to the next level with a "supermini", which the prestigious brand are pushing as their top seller for 2010.

Available only as a super-sleek five door (Alfa's MiTo is handling the three-door market), the Giulietta perfectly balances sportiness with space for the supermarket shop. It's expected in June for a little under £15,000.
