There was an announcement today, by Sergio Marchionne of FIAT.

It should happen around the third quarter of 2006.

Here is a brief quote from the Corriere Della Sera online:

L'annuncio dell'amministratore delegato Fiat, Sergio Marchionne
Dal Duetto alla Brera: l'Alfa torna negli Usa
L'ultima auto a essere venduta negli States fu la 164, fino al 1995. La passione tra gli «alfisti» d'oltreoceano non è mai venuta meno.

TORINO - «Alfa Romeo tornerà negli Stati Uniti». Lo ha annunciato, nel corso di una conference call sui dati del primo trimestre 2006, l'amministratore delegato del gruppo torinese, Sergio Marchionne secondo cui il rientro del marchio in terra americana nel tempo più contenuto «possibile» contribuirà, in maniera importante, agli obiettivi di vendita stilati per la marca del Biscione.

There's not so much Fiat left in the new Alfa's either.
Now it's even worse with GM engines....

The engines are supposed to be pretty good though, according to friends of mine that have testdriven the new 159.

Fingers crossed Alfa managed to make something decent out of them. The same engines are used here and the cars they come from are a poor excuse, as are the engines inside imo.

Alfa Romeo returns to the US
