Is Alfa Romeo really coming to the US?
While reading the coverage of Fiat’s 5 year plan on Automtive News this morning, I was excited to learn that Alfa Romeo may be coming back to the United States. According to the Automotive News article: “(Chrysler) will build two new Alfa crossover models for sale in North America and in Europe.”
So, what does that mean? Will the styling be Alfa or Chrysler? What about the engines?
While we don’t have any of the details yet, a girl can certainly dream. As shown on the Alfa Romeo website, their current line-up consists of 7 models:
1) The MiTo, which is a 3-door hatchback mini-car (serious front, cutesy bug-like rear)

2) The Giulietta (which replaces the Milano) is a five door family car (European family cars are usually a lot smaller than family cars in the US)

Alfa Romeo is said to have between 3-7 new models coming out in the next 5 years. It should be an exciting time for the Italian Automaker, and I am anxious to see what Alfa Romeo and Chrysler will bring to the US.
