Alfa Romeo coming to US again.

Anyone here remember the days of Alfa Romeo dealerships in the US? Well I do and though sales were bleak the italian marque is revived and making a comeback. Pictured below is the Brera coupe which you may see in 2-3 years time.

Exactly! Not many people will scope this thread either so we'll be the few that watched this amazing movie.

Everything in front of the B-pillar looks strangely similar to the MS6 (save the triangular-shaped grill).

not crazy about the nose of them but rest is great. So is there a date to when thy're coming to the US again? Cause I've been hearing about them comming SOON for the past like 2 years.

video was pretty cool

If alfa actually comes back to the states, it will be very interesting to see what they lead their lineup with

[Rainman]

I take that back. It IS the MS6...LOL!

Alfa Romeo competes with BMW and VW in Europe.

Looks like they refreshed the front-end...a lot sharper...I see SOOOOOO many Alfa's in Japan it's not even funny...They are really popular...I dig 'em but I find it's hard to shake that dodgy reputation for reliability...

I'm surpised that Alfas are sold in Japan.

They like unique and fashionable European marques...It's interesting because I see a lot more AMGs than I do the normal Benzs...I've seen quite a few "Alpine" and "M" version BMWs...It's like more specialized versions of Euro cars are favored here...I've even seen a few Lotus and TVRs around...including Lancia!
