I hear Alfa Romero is comming back
To the US... Does anyone have any more updated information about it? And do you guys know of any other models besides the 159 sedan that are comming back to the US? I also herd that that sedan is a bit pricey too.

First of all, welcome to the forum! Hope you get to enjoy/use it as much as we do.
To answer your question, there are more threads than I have fingers and toes and those of my family's about this exact topic. Just use the search button below the parts shop button and type in what you're looking for.
PS- I'd edit alfa romeRo to romeo. A lot of people will slag you for it 
Aaaaand, woo, 1800th post lol |

FWD is just fine. Overpriced? probably, but these are sports cars...

Yeah its over priced.. i just converted of how much the brea is which is 70,000 euros converted to american which is $85,000 some where in that ball park. id say you might as well get some other car thats in that range like porsche,dodge viper or Mustang GT500 which would be out next year... and have some money left over if you bought the mustang.

As long as we're going to spell correctly, drop the first 's' out of CSesar.
The Joker was fine, but for a real treat, look for Cesar in "The Racers" from 1955 with Kirk Douglas. Features great old '50's open wheelers and other sports cars, including some Alfas, I believe.

Yeah i will eat my hat if alfa is back before 08,but not just in california and n.y. but across north america with a reasonable dealer network.My words,i take back the crap part i was in a snappy mood and shot from the lip, sorry.I do not have to much faith in fiats ability to do the right thing with the alfa brand.The fwd rwd debate,my preference is for rwd for sports cars,but thats just me.If i reject reality for a moment and substitute my own, alfas would go back to italian designed and built 4 and 6cyl jewel like engines with rwd and beautiful interior and exterior by some hotshot italian designer. But back to reality i think the new alfas are good but not great cars the exterior styling,specificaly the front ends i like they seem to be heading in the right direction that way.The motors have me worried as that to me is the heart of my attraction to alfas,and i really am not a fan of a badge engineered gm powering an alfa and that fwd thing.I want alfa to succeed in n.a. but their current lineup leaves me a little underwhelmed at the moment.Cesar romero is the man,,,,,,ciao for now.

Here you go:
2.2 JTS: 32,000 Euro incl. VAT
3.2 V6 AWD: 39,500 Euro incl. VAT
At any rate it's all theoretical since the Brera won't be arriving in the US anytime soon.
Enjoy yours.
