Stefanel1:

I'm sorry refer to such an old post, but I just read it for the first time.

On one of your original posts on this thread, you mention that Peugeot is coming to the US around 2005...and we've already discussed our differences on this concept.

You also said that Alfa Romeo is returning to the US market in 2005, but it has been delayed until 2007 at the earliest.

While Autodelta is marketing Alfa Romeos in the US, they are not the equivalent of BMW's M or Mercedes-Benz' AMG. Autodelta was the name of a firm that raced and modified Alfa Romeos, but THIS Autodelta is not related to that company.

You're learning me something ! I did know Autodelta as a racer, but I though that this company which imported Alfa in the USA was related because it has the same name. thanks for the info !

I heard too that Alfa come back has been delayed, alas !
But they prefer to develop their range : the 156 GTA M, the 166 GTA, the Brera (sporty coupé with a V8 Maserati !), etc.


>Menu : Nice car this X5 and very cool to drive with these V8.

One of the reasons for Alfa's delay, besides the redesign of the Spider/GTV and 157, is the new SUV coming.
