Super-sticky Pirelli P Zero Trofeo tires also helped the little car...

The idea of an SUV or crossover in Alfa Romeo's stable of flowing lines and sleek forms might shock the systems of some, but it's anything but unexpected. Today, it has been confirmed.

Alfa Romeo's most recent SUV concept dates back to 2003 with the Kamal, and while it won't likely form the basis of the new SUV's design, it may inform the general theme. Perhaps not coincidentally, the Maserati Kubang was also first shown in 2003 before being revived in...
