It has been almost fourteen years since Alfa Romeo sold new cars in the United States, and their commitment to bring cars back to the U.S. is looking good. The folks at Alfa are planning for an entry into the States as early as late 2009.
The 8C Competizione will be the first car offered in the U.S., and all 84 cars bound for the States have already been sold out. Alfa will only produce 500 of the 450-horsepower 8C coupes worldwide, and U.S. sales of the upcoming 8C Spider are said to begin in 2010. After that, the folks at Automotive News say that Alfa will plan to bring a large, rear-wheel-drive car over, potentially riding on a Jaguar platform. If Alfa can reach a deal with Jaguar's new owner, Tata Motors, we could see this product as early as 2011 or 2012.
