Fiat has been closing lots of things in a drastic belt-tightening 
program. They used to have press office in New York and they closed it 
last January, so this new closing doesn't exactly surprise me. I was 
under the impression that ARDONA was in Florida, however. Also, the 
"official" return of Alfa to North America is, indeed, 2007 and has 
been so for more than a year. But be aware that it could be pushed back 
at any time. They've done it at least three times since the millennium 
year, and could certainly do it again.
