Alfa return...



Don quoted from the NY Times:

<< His first priority is likely to be the cars that G.M. has under 
development, 
 making any quick decision on Alfa unlikely. Indeed, G.M. spokesmen confirmed 
 recently that it was too early to discuss any details of Alfa's possible 
return. >>

What did I tell you??? Check the Forum archives and you'll see about 6 months 
or so ago we had an "Alfa returns" thread where I posted that it will never 
happen. After 21 years of dealing with the Italians, I told you all that the 
course of action they would follow would first be to say "we'll be back right 
away", then it will be "we need to get the 1993 models ready for the US", 
then it will be "we need until the 1994 or 1995 model year to make sure 
everything is okay" (ALL of which has ALREADY happened!) and then it will be 
"we really don't know when, but it's still on the table" (seems like where we 
are at now) followed by "right now we have more important thing to do, it's 
on the back-burner" finally followed by lack of any further information.

Face it folks... they ain't coming back.
