The latest edition of Road Testament includes Alex Roy and JF Musial discussing the one of the oldest brands in the world, Alfa Romeo. Should Fiat work to bring the brand to the U.S. earlier then expected?

159 at the end of it's life and about to be replaced. The punto is perfectly viable as a Fiesta Competitor The Bravo a good Focus etc competitor. Most of those Fiats were old versions. To dismiss these Models based on a google image search isn't exactly top notch journalism. The Panda is the car that saved Fiat and is a great little car, it's possibly not right for North America even though it would go directly against the Nissan Cube. (you photo was the 4x4 verison btw)

Hey now listen!

The cars you quoted are models Fiat used to make 6-10 years ago or are only produced in 3rd world countries.

Google this:

Punto Evo

Bravo

They're awesum. Multiair engines FTW!!!!

Grande Punto is not that bad! Believe me!

The Multipla like this is not manufactured since long time.

Idea is only popular in Italy. The one on that photo has polish plate, but you hardly get to see one there.

Italian cars are reliable

BTW Cadillac BLS is based on 159's chassis...

multiplaia..sedaici..grandi punto..gilieta..we love american cars..they're 5000cc engine made the same power like a 1.4 t-jet fiat..

Oh yeah and that is BS about alfas being more reliable than Audis, what century are you in seriously? Everyone knows alfas are unreliable

[indiestar91]

Wohha WTF you don't want the fiat punto??? Silly people you have no idea how popular that car is...

Ford GT was NOT a pure English effort. Yes, FAV [English Ford Advanced Vehicles] 1st developed the car. Yes, alot of the car came via the English Lola GT.

BUT after FAV failed, the car was turned over 2 Shelby American 2 make it work. Then, US CarCraft + others actually built GT's from 1965 on. AND Ford in US DID design GT work [intitally + definitely from the 7L '65 cars, thru the LM winning Mark II's + IV's.

Only then did JWyer take it all back + build Gulf GT's.

How can someone talk about a Auto Maker they never sat in, drove or repaired. I honestly thought they were road testing an Alfa Romeo car. This was a waste of my time!

old multipla asswipe shouldnt you know that

[boarderboi7]

bring alfa romeo to north american shores!!!!!!!!!! I would buy one instantly, besides they're more reliable than anything with a bowtie on it, and more reliable than chrysler too, but that hardly needed to be said. Not to mention probably more safe than toyota is at the moment, and look at how many cars they sell

ewww at Panda, Saduction, Mutlipea, Idea. The punta lools ok. Fiat 500 is ok. All the Alfas are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I live in southeast michigan and I have seen a handful of new alfa models with minor camo and manufacturers plates. One Brera and about 5 Mitos.
