The American market has not accepted the functionality of a hatchback as the everyday family car. It just follows that a wagon from the luxury segment will be on the top choice of the list. Mercedes Benz and BMW are both selling their smaller units but they both veered away from selling the hatch versions in the United States.

Alfa Romeo is following suit and may be opting to send the bigger Giulia sedan to the American market. It might just be the first Alfa Romeo that will be produced in high volume to mark the return of the brand in the U.S. soil.

An Italian newspaper published an interview with the top executive of Alfa Romeo who discloses that the Giulia will be rolling of the dealerships by 2012. The CEO explained that they are keeping the MiTo (who is doing reasonably well against the Fiat 500 and the Mini!) and the new Milan for a more viable market in European countries. So it is clear that the Alfa Romeo will have the Giulia leading its return on the U.S. roads.

Bigger cars actually have bigger rooms to earn a profit compared to smaller cars like the MiTo. It might be a wise decision for the Italian car maker to have Giulia over the Milano or MiTo in a hesitant U.S. market.
