If they, DC, follow contemporary corporate automotive practice (and why
wouldn't they when that's how money is made?) they might badge-engineer
new Alfas from Dodge/Plymouth Neons. Then they would brand stretch
the Alfa name to minivans, SUVs and, god forbid, pickup trucks. It may be=

better that they don't bring Alfa back to the USA than they destroy a
grand marque with their heavy-handed, short-sighted, production-
efficiency-driven approach to the "vehicle" business. =


Look what Furd is doing to change Jaguar into Jag-U-Aren't --
degenerating one of the great car brands into a  Crowd Victoria/Lincoln
Toad Car.
