Graphicguy, do you realize you responded to something that is clearly spam? Hopefully, you didn't click on the "pregnancy miracle" link as the bottom.
 
Didn't catch that. Just saw the date of tne post that was responded to. Didn't notice the link until you just mentioned it.
 
Carry on!

No, not on holiday - but we don't work 24/7 either. The multi-user names in the header is just a weird bug that happens so infrequently it's not easy to fix, nor probably really worth the manpower it would take to investigate. We just have to live with that one.
 
Re: spam - nothing gets "flagged" prior to posting. Everything posts, and the hosts read all of our assigned discussions in order to catch them. This was a pretty obvious bit of spam (now removed)... some are more sneaky. No obligation, but the quickest way to get spam removed is to email a host. Reported items by email get attention first, and then everything else just gets taken care of as we come across issues.

#15287 of 16251 Can Alfa-Romeo reinvent the sports sedan? by andys120

I'm a big fan of older BMWs (own an E46 convertible and an E39 sedan) and like a lot of long-time Bimmer fans I'm unhappy with the Lexus-ization of the brand as the cars get heavier, less agile and less sporty. Now comes a rumor that Alfa-Romeo may produce a modern, RWD, small sports sedan link.
 
It was Alfa that invented the modsern sport sedan way back in 1951 when they introduced their 1900 TI >
 

 
Can't happen soon enough IMO. Viva Alfa!

There is nothing small about it. They are guessing near 5-series size.

Interesting since Fiat owns Alfa, and Fiat wants to make a big push here in the US, I'm we are going to see some of those Italian sedan state side. I had a friend who had a GTV-6 great car...

Sergio Marchionne, though Italian born was brought up in Canada. I'm sure he is aware that the current Fiat and Alfa lineups are not well suited to the North American market. He is also aware that fostering growth on this side of the pond is a good hedge against the poorly performing European market.
 
He seems to be a genuine car nut as well.

Alfa has been threatening to return to North America for about 5 years now. They keep pushing the date back.

Perhaps that's because they realize that most of their current products do not live up to the standards set by the Alfas we recall so fondly. In that case it's best that they do right rather than right away.
