Alfa Romeo Giulia heading to the U.S. in 2012
Fans of Italian cars are eagerly awaiting the first product that will roll out of the assembly line after an alliance has been formed between Fiat and Chrysler. Before the end of 2010, the Fiat 500 may touch the American soil. Following shortly are possible productions of hatchback units like the Alfa Romeo Milano or the MiTo. The Italian car maker has not confirmed the release of the last two vehicles though.
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.

Alfa Romeo opts for Giulia sedan over MiTo for US Market Comebackk
The American market really hasn’t seen the functionality of a hatchback as a family car. Premium brands like Mercedes Benz and BMW make small cars but both do not sell small cars in the U.S. The idea is shared by Alfa Romeo which might field the big sedan Giulia to mark its return to the U.S. shores.
The Giulia will lead th
e comeback of the Alfa Romeo everyday car in the United States after a 15 year hiatus. Earlier reports revealed that the MiTo hatchback and the Milano will be the first models to roll out of the U.S. dealerships.
Alfa Romeo sees the Giulia to be the car that Americans will find interesting. The car manufacturer plans to build cars with Chrysler and inject the Alfa Romeo Soul that the consumers can appreciate and find useful.
Alfa Romeo is now a division of Fiat and they cannot afford to make a costly mistake when they try to re-enter the U.S. A jump in sales is what Alfa Romeo badly needs. Alfa Romeo is looking for short term gains as of now and cannot wait a few more years to see results.

Alfa Romeo Cars for Petrol Heads
I don’t get it. When I talk to friends of mine about my obsession with Alfa Romeo cars, they all seem to be kind of irritated at my adoration of a car maker that (according to them) makes cars that fall apart when you drive them over a cobble stone road…
I try to explain to them that buying an Alfa Romeo is NOT the same as buying a Porsche or a Lexus. Why? Well, basicly, the Alfa is a car lover’s car. The Porsches or the Lexuses are nice cars for you regular people… ^^
I always use the Alfa Romeo 159 as an example. It’s stylish, it’s got a decent engine, yet it’s priced pretty high mainly because us freaks just LOVE the MOJO the car has… Can you resist the Alfa Romeo 159 ti shown below?
I sure as hell can’t. Alfa’s are petrolheadcars. ^^
