i know wat you mean, its wierd that its so secretive. My source is a friend whos wife works at a Ferrari dealer, apparently, they are prepping the showroom for some alfa stuff, i asked him over and over if he was serious and he seemed to be.he mentioned a 2model line up to begin, prolly brera and spider and prices in line with other euros.

i hope its not bs....

I doubt it is bs - I think they will show up eventually the question is just when. Also I think they want to be quiet about it otherwise people (like us) will have unrealistic expectations. Some of the other threads here have also recently mentioned a 2 car lineup to start.

Driving to school I saw a black 164 S drive past me the other way. It was pretty amazing, like a cool older brother you havent seen in a while.

Saw Richard Ott's beautiful 2600 Sprint at Alfeta Motors in Vallejo today, but I didn't have my camera with me.

I was coming back from Target and in West Berkeley we drove past one very nice red Berlina 1750, 2 Giulietta Sprints, a black 101 spider and a black 164. It was a good day.

That's indeed a LOT of rarer Alfas to see in one day on the road, without being in a club tour. Were you in your TI?

He was trying to get closer to the other alfa
