Default Chrysler/Fiat Merger ==> Alfa Romeo in USA?

Other than stereotypical Italian reliability issues, does anyone think the Alfa Romeo 159 would/could be competition for the A4?

I drove an alfa 159 rental for a week in Italy last year while on vacation. Awesome car,....of course it was diesel, great torgue and just sipped the fuel....we'll never see that here in the U.S.

I bet leasing is going to suck big time due to the poor residual.

I dont think they will launch Alfa as the first brand. My guess is the smaller Fiats. If that suceeds then Alfa will roll in.
