Riccardo - Alfa's return ?

["Robert Strause" <rdstrause@domain.elided>]

Riccardo,

I've heard rumors, of course unreliable rumors, that with safety and
ecological standards rising in European states, cars that can pass US
certification may be the rule, not the exception soon.  Obviously you never
know, but the rumor was that given this trend in Europe, Fiat and Alfa may
be returning to the US before 2005.

Is this pure fantasy?  Seems a shame Alfa isn't here.  With the economic
strength of this economy and the influence of channels such as SpeedVision,
there's opportunity here.
