It would be great if GM can find some way to get Alfa's back into the U.S. market.

Nice car!

ahhh didn't know GM owned Alfa...They said on 5th gear this car isn't gonna be made into a production car. It's strictly a concept.

If Alfa is GM, the Brera looks like another Zeta based car...

GM is not the owner, but the big brother partner with Fiat that is controlling Alfa. This is from an Auto week report:

"Alfa has postponed its return to the United States repeatedly since Fiat announced its strategic alliance with General Motors in 2000. At the time, Fiat said Alfa would introduce the redesigned two-seat Spider convertible in 2003."

The whole story from Dec 03:Autoweek Article

I like it. Reminds me a little of an RX-8.

I love that car. The current GTV is very nice also. I love Alfas and had a red Spider. Too bad I'd have to move to Europe to buy a new one, because they're not coming back here anytime soon.

I thought I had read that Alfa was in 'talks' with GM to sell cars through select GM dealerships?

Eh don't like it. Look at front, see sports car, look at rear, see focus.

I'd drive that, it's beautiful. I don't generally like that sort of rear end, but it looks good on that car.
