Just Like 10 Years Ago, Alfa Romeo US Return Is Serious

By Cornelius Nunev


Fiat is really severe about bringing Alfa Romeo back to the U.S.. Granted, the before an Alfa Romeo US return was guaranteed, they were then too and the time they promised it back in 2000. It's a neat idea, but does need to be taken with a pillar of salt.

Revisit the States

Fiat's luxury brand that fits between the high luxury brand and low luxury brand is Alfa Romeo. It may make a return fairly soon. Fiat has been guaranteeing the return for a while now.

Fiat has promised the return of Alfa to the United States despite the truth that it has not been sold here in a really long time. It was initially supposed to start in 2013, then 2014, and then 2013 again.

Right now, according to NBC News, there is still a plan for a return of Alfa Romeo U.S. sales. Fiat's plan is still to sell the Alfa Romeo 4C, a gorgeous two-seater sports car. According to the Star Phoenix, a newspaper in Saskatoon, Canada, it's intended to hit dealerships later this year.

Reaction very small

A lot of people who use an auto loan rates calculator recognize that they cannot really afford the price of the 4C that will cost between $75,000 and $100,000. That means that hardly any person will really be getting the vehicle. A lot of people do not even care that Alfa Romeo is coming back.

Furthermore, according to the Star-Phoenix, production volume is scheduled to be around 2,500 per year, due to the cabin being mainly made from carbon fiber.

Also, as Car and Driver points out, Alfa has been big on promises and very small on delivery when it comes to resuming sales in the U.S.. The brand pulled out of the industry in 1995 and its high-water mark was in 1986, when Alfa moved 8,201 units.

Alfa guaranteed to return a number of times since 2000, only to revise the date and intended distributor a number of times. Recently they seem a bit more serious about resuming sales this year. Granted, they did manage to sell a few 8C Competizione roadsters in 2008 in the U.S.; however, that was about this.

Huge deal in press

The press seems to be making a big deal over "Alfa Romeo U.S.," and some might wonder why that is. Ultimately, it's just another luxury brand; so what if it's Italian and has a "wop engine," as Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne put it? Hardly everyone bought them when they were sold here and they were notoriously unreliable.

Really, the only reason to buy an Alfa over other things is the truth that the automobile is ridiculously beautiful. The Geneva Motor Show and other auto shows all over the world will show off the concept Gloria later this year, according to Automobile Magazine, but it is anticipated to be beautiful. We can already see the 4C and 8C, and those automobiles are better-looking than anything I've ever seen.
