#15287 of 16087 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.

I was the proud owner of a 79 Spider. It was a fun car and i loved it, but i wouldnt say i was impressed with the standards set by Alfa.
 
Quality an reliability were not Alfa hallmarks.
