Both the Comfort and Sport equipment grades will be combined in the Selective version from the MiTo, which will comprise the foglights, spoiler, white-illuminated instruments and 17 or 18-inch wheels in the Sport Pack, as well as the dual-zone climate-control, rear parking sensors, automatic headlights, front armrest and rain-sensing wipers which include in the Comfort Pack.
A 2008 model year 159 will also be revealed, featuring several of the upgrades that already display on the 159 Ti. Other running changes, including changes to the rear seats to improve legroom, new instruments and overall weight savings, will arrive here as part of a 2009 upgrade for the 159.
