Alfa Romeo is returning to the U.S. No, seriously - after unceremoniously abandoning the U.S. market in the early 90s, Alfa returns. To make sure we notice, they are initially bringing a quarter-million dollar supercar, the 8C Competitizione. It's not going to compete in anything (except the showroom), but it's undeniably gorgeous:
Note the way the bottom line of the side vent sweeps up into the A-pillar (front pillar). You can read a styling analysis here.

With luck, Alfa will bring a 4-cylinder base Brera here that's an actual sports car instead of an overloaded Italian Monte Carlo. Make my Alfa white with a deep red interior. And quickly!
Wasn't the Alfa originally built by the Italian army, so it only has a reverse gear box? :-D
