Alfa Romeo 4C in the press

Much is being made of Alfa Romeo’s return to the USA with the UK’s Autoexpress magazine reporting a target of 85,000 cars from the leaked report – ambitious for a marque absent for 18yrs. To achieve this they are talking about a 5 model line up including the 4c but also a large saloon (based on the Chrysler 300c platform) and a SUV perhaps more to the US tastes.

Autocar  report an indication that the 4c will be introduced in 2013 to the USA, one hopes the European launch will not change but Sergio Marchionne is reported as saying "We are going to target the US market first and work our way back into Europe..."

Not the only one to have pondered the styling in comparison to the 33 Stradale with Octane magazine running a story in their November addition.
