Yay! There is SOME hope for the marque's US invasion plan!The original plan to re-introduce the Alfa Romeo brand to the U.S. also included plans for a mid-size SUV to be built at Chrysler's Toledo plant, but that vehicle has reportedly been canceled altogether.
I think this already happened.I doubt we'll ever see Alfa back in the US. My guess is the marque will go away altogether in today's climate of consolidation.
Unfortunately it doesn't necessarily mean that, FIAT tested the Bravo and Brava here in Seattle back in 1994. There were 6 or 7 of them based at Bellevue Alfa Romeo for a couple of weeks. AFAIK there were no plans ever bring the Bravo to the US...Why are they testing 10 here in AZ? Not sure but it seems to me they are working on getting the brand back to the US. My assumption is they want to get it right this time too. I wish I had pics to share. Sorry! Could not get home and back to the truck before it headed out from the local truck stop.
I nominate this for the AlfaBB Quote of the Year Award.Renault will return to the USA before Alfa returns.
