Alfa Romeo coming back to the USA!

[Sidekicknichola]

They're starting with four models in 2014 -

Giulia (I'm interested in this guy's price tag - what will 35k get you as far as options)

This odd little crossover -

...and the 4C in roadster / coupe (I assume they consider two different models to get the count to four total)

-- All you track gets might like this -
Engine 1,750 Cc, Turbocharged 4-Cylinder
Engine Horsepower > 200 Horsepower
Engine Torque TBD (250 Pound-Feet [TopSpeed Est.])
Transmission Twin-Clutch Automatic
Acceleration (0-100 Km/H) < 5 Seconds
Top Speed > 250 Km/H (155.34 Mph )
Curb Weight Under 850 Kg (1,873 Lbs)
Weight Distribution (Front/Rear) 40 Percent/60 Percent

That Giulia looks really, really good.

Agreed.

The SUV is fugly, and the little coupe is nice but not practical.... but depending the Giulia price, man o man I might be tempted.

problem with US car companies: too many brands
fiat's solution: introduce 4 more!

Very nice.

Isn't the roadster basically the new Miata with a Fiat sticker?

I LOVE ALFAS CAPS !!!!!


seriously though I love alfas. I grew up around em. I may buy a 90s 164 to celebrate!

They're supposed to share the same chassis, but a different powerplant and styling. Something like that. All the ND Miata info has mostly been rumors and speculation, so it's hard to say.

Uh, no. Completely different companies.

 

[Drako]

Uh, no. Completely different companies.

Uh, yeah, the new Alfa spider/roadster will be built by Mazda, in Japan

+1 money

Under the plan, the new Alfa Romeo convertible, which is tipped to revive the Spider name (although Duetto has also been hinted at), will be built by Mazda alongside the new MX-5 at a plant in Hiroshima, Japan.

My bad, was thinking the 4c which wouldn't work since it's mid-engine. Hadn't even heard Alfa was doing a roadster/spider, not sure why really but ok.

This. I will accept the ugly grille since it's so much their 'thing.' And it is otherwise drop-dead sex and, as far as I can tell, is not just a copy of someone else's car...which all new cars seem to be, anymore.

this brand is already existing and you can't brand an alfa like a fiat, it would look stupid and wouldn't carry the same prestige. Also it's fiat's luxury brand. It's like complaining that Lexus exists.

the crossover reminds me of the first iteration of subaru's B9 Tribeca

While I like Alfas I take pity on you if you decide to go through with your plan

[punjabiplaya]

Alfa's been saying this for years. Let me know when the cars are in the showrooms.

[aeroxmax4]

That Subaru is big, though. The thing above is more like a Nissan Juke.

Looks like the new Cherokee in the other thread.
