 I agree 100%.  They would have done very well.
 
 I agree also with those who have pointed out that having a manufactuer's line
 (sold in NA) consist of only a Spider of 30 year old design, and a sedan, was
 nuts. >>

Here is a question and see if people will answer honestly. In the last 10 
years that Alfa sold cars in North America 1985 - 1995 how many people on 
this list purchased NEW Alfa Romeos? Used don't cut it. Stand up and be 
counted, you did your part to keep Alfa in North America.

Count me as 1, anyone else?
