Alfa Romeo will be launching the new Spider series. The Italian based car company will be sharing the platform with Mazda MX-5. Since Alfa Romeo is a bigger brand name they could have just put their logo and sold the car. However, they aren't doing it, they will be changing significant parts.

The new Spider will be rear wheel driven, same as Mazda's MX-5. These cars will be manufactured and built besides each other in Hiroshima, Japan, Mazda's manufacturing plant.
