In the background behind Steve McQueen's 911 I can see (from left to right);
 
grey Renault 4, off white Peugeot 404, dark grey Renault 16, black Peugeot 403 and white Citroen Dyane - and I think the car between the 403 and the Dyane is a Panhard PL17, but as you can only see part of the boot it is difficult. Just a wild guess but I think the photo might have been taken in France ?

Alfa Romeo Mito ( they really should have called it the Junior). It's due here by the end of the year, but it's being launched in Italy in June or July, and I must admit it's tempting. I am eligible for new company car in about eighteen months, and this is going to be somewhere towards the top of the list...

Top car is a Maybach 57 (at least it doesn't look long) and the orange car looks to be a Bond Bug. I have no idea what the blue supercar is.

The blue "supercar" behind the Maybach is a Peugeot 806.
 
This would be a typical street scene from Mayfair or Kensington or Chelsea, with all manner of Ferrari, Maserati, TVR, Rolls, Bentleys littering the sidewalks outside the $10 million dollar flats (as I learned while spending a week in Kensignton last year and car-spotting during the morning jog )

Yep, it's an Alfa but not a Brera or a derivative thereof.
 
Note the correct spelling, A-L-F-A (for Anonima Lombardi Fabbrica Automobili =Lombard Automobile Works Incorporated ).
 
Now does anyone know the name of the upcoming new Alfa-Romeo?

Yep, the Mi To (or is it Mi.To?) is being considered as part of Alfa's US lineup ca. 2010 . Originally it was to be called a "Junior" then they ran a naming contest and came up with "Furiosa". They decided that that wasn't good (too much like road rage?) and came up with the meaningless Mi To. They should've stuck with "Junior".
