You might want to check out the latest issue of the British mag, CAR. The issue is "dedicated" to 100 years of Alfa Romero (last month's issue was "dedicated" to Audi), with more than a few good articles and pix.

Do you mean George or Cesar Romero? I didn't realize they were car guys, I bet they would love an Alfa Romeo if they are.
Gee, at least I spelled the FIRST part correctly. Unlike the poster about a week ago, that no one jumped on, for calling it "Alpha".
I've been waiting for them to re-enter the US market for some time now. When was that supposed to happen? 2005?
I thought they were back. (8C Comp, anyone?) Or did I miss something?
Integraguy, just friendly roasting. I actually love people who spell it wrong, esp when they go to sell.
Heck, a week or two ago I saw an Ebay listing for a "Chevrolet Camaro GT: Alfa Rameo GT"

I don't know what the heck they were smoking when they listed that.

Well, being part of the Alfa club, and various chat boards- the return has been two years out for the last decade and a half.
In reply to JeepinMatt: I saw a new Alfa at Lime Rock's Vintage Festival last fall. Looked liked the 8C, but slightly different. And it had the largest diameter stock wheels on a non-truck vehicle I've ever seen, 22"? Wrapped with bandaid thick tires. Ugly. It DID have a regulare plate on it. No dealer or manufacturer plates. Might be you can buy a legal US one, but you have to order it, and wait a while. Maybe not back in the American market in the regular sense of the word, but, lots have changed since the economy tanked. CAR is a great magazine. It seems British auto journalists can did up the slightest bit of minutia on almost any car.

Exactly - don't they know it's spelled "Camero"?
I have seen new alfas here and there. not the Spider or the 8c though. So I know they are doing testing for US tastes.
Alfa has a nice 100 year feature on their website as well. 100 Years
Oh, they also sell these:
