The local Fiat Dealer has put an Alfa sign up next to the Fiat one and a large 'Alfa Romeo" script sign in the showroom. I assume they are getting ready for the arrival of the 4C?

That makes me smile, even if I'm not in the market for a new car.
Yep, one of the groups I follow on Facebook has been posting up the new Alfa signs being installed.
Here's a list of the first 86 Fiat dealerships that have been awarded Alfa Romeo franchises.

I would like to add my local Fiat dealership (Kelly Fiat of Peabody, MA) is not listed, but says they will also be getting the new Alfas. Sadly, I was at an Italian car show this past Sunday with my 164 and there was no sign of the 4C yet. 
Never thought i'd see that in the US.
Heh, the FIAT dealer near me took over the defunct Hummer dealership. It's going to be a hoot to see metrosexual Euro-suave cars parked all around the big, butch, Murica-berk-yeah building.
oh, I wish I were in the market for a new car....
What else does Alfa want to sell here besides the 4C?
I have an Alfa sign hanging in my garage...I wish they would deliver a 4c to go with it! 
You mean to tell me that this thing is going to be on sale in the USA?
Have they released the expected pricing yet?
Welp, there's a dealer in Sarasota, that's only an hour away. I'll have to check one out when they show up.
If this is going to be available, I have to ask if it is OK to post body parts for sale on the Forum?

Just barely under $70k- http://blog.caranddriver.com/u-s-spec-2015-alfa-romeo-4c-pricing-availability-released/
Looks like we will get one across town at the Fiat dealer. Will have to drive my GTV over there someday. Maybe park my race car for sale there....
In terms of other cars, theoretically, the Giulia line could be sold (it's a Dodge Dart, too). Or is that Giulietta... regardless, it's a C sized car that's just like everyone elses.
Later, they probably will sell the Alfa version of the ND- as we all remember that partnership. IF (and that's a sizeable if) I ever get a new convertable, that will probably be the one. Assuming that we (F) never come out with one.
I look forward to seeing a 4C on the road.
In reply to NOHOME:
It's already here. There was one on display at a Boston area Italian car show last weekend. People barely noticed it parked between a Lancia Aurelia & Alfa Giulietta SS.
How disappointing...I opened this thread thinking that maybe you were going to talk about an Alfa going 20,000 miles without breaking down.

If you want a big one, there should be 86 or so of them hitting eBay in a few years.

Sad but true, probably. There are a lot of Fiats running around town though. Surprisingly, there are now probably more of the van looking ones than 500's. And much to my horror, my wife called them cute!

Fiat sales are down something like 36% over last year and down again from the year before.
Kearny Mesa FIAT, dba Kearny Mesa Alfa Romeo, San Diego, Calif.
You know that I want one and that I put my name down, like forever ago, for the ones that come after the launch editions for the wife. Don't screw this up Alfa.

Not sure I want to donate THAT many body parts. I figured in the Elise territory...
While I think it is a great and beautiful creature, methinks they are over-reaching price-wise.
EDIT:
Forgot about this bit. CF tub. Explains the price. Not sure why it weights as much as it does? Elise did better than this.

I think I read somewhere that the Italian version of the Miata is now going to be badged an Alfa instead of a Fiat. And the internet is always right!
I see 4C mules running around the detroit suburbs on a daily bassis, some camo some not. They aren't coming - they're here.

Just remember, the $70k price tag is for the initial launch models, which will be hard loaded. The basic model (on sale next year) will start at $55k.
From the reviews, the Elise and Boxster beat it (plus, it's paddle shift, no clutch, boo!) in the driving/handling department, but everyone says is a more beautiful car.
I'd love to have one and am saving my pennies for a year old one when the initial novelty wears off.

I've never wanted a Miata the least bit - based entirely on the fact that I can't stand their appearance (though I fully appreciate their peformance). But if a Miata came here looking like an Alfa, then I would be fully interested and would pay the extra dollars for it, likely. Would be a great move: take a great car, and give it a look that would appeal to those of us who want a Miata, but don't want to look at it.
