Alfa Romeos - U.S. launch brought forward with three new sportsters
Alfa Romeo's reentry into the U.S. market has been brought forward to spring 2009. The firm was recently aiming at fall 2009, but fast-moving Fiat Group CEO Sergio Marchionne is pushing it ahead. Under Marchionne's three-year tenure, Fiat has turned around and this year added more shareholder value than any other automaker. Industry research Web site just-auto.com says, "A resurgent Fiat's share price rose by 89 percent in the period as its financial results improved on the back of restructuring and new models."

Alfa will launch in the U.S. with its stunning 8C Competizione, a carbon-fiber-skinned two-seat coupe packing rear drive and a 450-horsepower, 4.7-liter version of Maserati's V-8.

People should be happy becouse alfa aint available in the US, here in europe they always come in last in all cosumer tests and their depreciation rate is awful.

Alfas look nice but they're heavy, slow and expensive. And FWD, and the best engines are the diesels. They sell in tiny numbers in most of Europe...and are incredibly unreliable (less so now but still second worst after the French)

Pretty sure the Brera engine is a GM engine.

The engine block is an Aussie GM/Holden block but with Alfa internals and FI. The block is related to the one used by Saab and Caddilac.

I am glad they will be moving up the intro date. The sound of an Alfa Romeo engine is great.
