RE: Alfa Launch Delayed in U.S.

["Ted Williams" <tedw@domain.elided>]

2005 - This just in, finally, the return of the Alfa Romeo to the North
American market. This is the day we've all been waiting for. Here comes the
first Spider...what's this...it looks to be driven by...yes yes it is...its
Jesus! Jesus has returned in the new 2005 Alfa Romeo Spider! This is amazing
ladies and gentleman....He's shorter than I thought he'd be.....


As Carlin says: :P

By 2005 I hope to be making mortgage payment, not a new car payment...oh
well. Maybe my kids will get one. I just hope to get my 105 GTV some day. I
keep getting other Alfas instead of the one I really want.

78 Sports Sedan
97 Nissan Pathfinder - personally, I'm thinking I'd rather take Samtrans and
Caltrain to work...oh well

Not really new, but received this today:

ALFA RETURN DELAYED
Alfisti will be disappointed to learn that General Motors and Fiat have
decided to postpone the Italian marque's return to the U.S. Fiat will not
retrofit current model Alfas to meet U.S. federal requirements for 2003;
now, all-new models will enter the U.S. as 2005 model year cars. A new
Alfa Spider is due in 2005 and a replacement for the 156 small sports
sedan should come the following year. A high-end 166 model is tentatively
due in 2007. Originally GM said Alfas would share showrooms with Cadillac
but they are now leaning toward selling the Italian brand through Saab
dealerships, both in here and in other markets where they are not
currently sold. - Bob Storck
