Fiat to Postpone Alfa-Romeo Arrival In the USA

Sunday, October 26th, 2008


Remember when we told you the Alfa was coming back to town? Well we meant American towns of course. Scratch that from your short-term memory and think ahead. Fiat will postpone the Alfa Romeo 159 or the Brera to 2011 at the earliest. Hopefully that will still happen. The Alfa 8C Competizione which was announced even earlier, was sold out through Maserati dealership so I’d say the need for Alfa Romeo is present in the American market.

Should we say economical problems again? Will Americans choose to buy more Italian cars in 2011 or later? Well I guess that’s how Fiat sees the whole issue here. Would you buy the Brera if it was available in a town near you?

Alfa Romeo Brera TI Coming at Paris Motor Show

Friday, September 26th, 2008


There are lots of Italian cars as there are lots of Italian cars that we hate. Alfa Romeo fits in the first category. And since the Paris show is a week away, you might be interested in Alfa Romeo’s stand. There you can find the Brera. From what it looks like I can already say it looks great.

The Brera Turismo Internazionale or Brera TI is just a little different than the regular coupe. It comes with a choice of engine between the 2.2 JTS engine or the 3.2 liter V6. It also has stiffer springs and dampers, 19 inch wheels and 8C-derived rims and red Brembo one-piece front calipers. There’s more to be discovered about it in Paris

So what do you think about the Brera TI?
