Alfa WILL return to the US, with some brand-new cars that will bring the US
'Cuore Sportivo' back to life. First of all the Kamal SUV, with V6 engine
(and maybe with the Maserati-Ferrari V8); then the Brera (the substitute of
the GTV) with V6 and 4L engines and the 8c Competizione, with the V8 engine.
The Kamal will cost between 40.000 and 50.000 $, the Brera under 45.000 and
the 8c at about 125-130.000 $ (like a 360 Modena).
The guys at Alfa are working to adapt the 156 and the 166 for the US market,
it can be a good proving ground to test how the Holden V6 unit runs with
Alfas.
