After an absence of more than a decade, Fiat’s Alfa Romeo brand is returning to the U.S. market. In a conference call May 3rd, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that he has plans in place to begin distributing Alfa Romeo models in the U.S. through Maserati’s dealer network, possibly as soon as late 2007.

Italiaspeed reports that the U.S. launch models will likely be the upper end of the range - Alfa 159, Brera (shown above) and Spider. And yes, this means that the 8c Competizione is also coming to the U.S.

:tup:…what’s next? Renault?

I wish!!! We’re lucky that we’re getting the Astra as a Saturn model (only because of GM). After “Le Car” I doubt that we’ll see Renault stateside anytime soon.

Are the Alfa’s gonna pass US crash requirements this time? If so, :tup: to increase the options within the market.

Unfortunately I’m so used to hearing this that I don’t really believe any news about them returning to the states.
