Frankfurt 2011: Alfa U.S. Return Delayed Again
For those of you looking forward to the impending return to the U.S. of Alfa Romeo, you may want to stop reading this now.
Due to the current debt crisis in Europe, it looks as though Alfa has decided to hold off on its return to the United States and has gone so far as to cancel a planned SUV build. The story from AutoNews: Quote:
This is an unfortunate bit of news coming from a proud company such as Alfa, though things are at least looking positive for them with their projected short-term sales estimates (even though long-term is being slimmed). Hopefully when the dust settles on the current debt crisis, there will be a better idea on when a return the U.S will be appropriate. I can't help but feel like the cancellations and postponed models is going to hurt interest in the future, however. I hope this is not the case, but with continued delays, interest may be dwindling with the thought of things never coming to fruition. Still, when it comes to the current economic climate, doing things in haste is likely the last thing the company wants to do if they want to stay solvent. We'll see how things go from here. What do you think?
