I'll almost guarantee This. We will NEVER see Alfa return to these 
shores as an official import. so, unless the US government can be 
convinced to let private US citizens bring in an unofficial car as 
personal property, all we can do is hope that Auto Delta can 
successfully sell the cars they're importing.  I don't see the former 
happening, so AutoDelta becomes our only hope.
