norcal505 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Share Posted March 6, 2011 Oh yes! These are by far, one of the most beautiful cars in production. I saw one in La Jolla last month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcal505 Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Bryan, Alfa Romeo has actually returned to the United States already. Their program is shared with Maserati. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Pretty sure the only Alfa currently available is the 8C. This is the first one I've seen in traffic. These are by far, one of the most beautiful cars in production. I agree. I didn't even notice the Maserati convertible next to the 8C until I looked at the picture later...

bryancohnracing Posted March 8, 2011 Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 I must spend too much time with my head buried in racing crap! Alfa is back in the states and I missed it? And I call myself a car guy...I am so ashamed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrethx Posted March 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2011 Don't feel too bad, Bryan, according to this Autoblog article, they were pretty easy to miss -- only 84 8C coupes and only 35 8C roadsters sold so far in the US, through Maserati dealers as Rob said. According to the article, Fiat is thinking of bringing more Alfas to the US & selling them through the Fiat dealerships. There's a new Fiat dealership near downtown LA -- it's supposed to be their flagship store, it opened during the LA Auto Show a few months ago. Been meaning to check it out, was busy with my exam. I'm going to court downtown on Wednesday morning, may check out the Fiat dealership that afternoon... Have been catching up with stuff (work, kids, house) that I've put off for the last two months, but seriously shopping for a car now (Peugeot, not Fiat). Going to look at one tomorrow, in fact. You guys will be the first to know when I get something... Andre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
