    Alfa Romeo's Return To The U.S. Starting This Summer (We Think)

      An update on when Alfa Romeo will be arriving in the U.S.

    The return of Alfa Romeo to the U.S. saga looks to be coming to a close. The Detroit News reports that the first Alfa Romeo vehicle, the 4C will be arriving in the U.S. in late June. However, it will not be at many Fiat dealers as expected. The report says the 4C will be sold at Maserati dealers and "the best-performing Fiat dealers".

    “We’re also going to allow the best-performing Fiat dealers to participate. Those dealers know who they are. ... It’s really a question of efficacy in representing the Fiat brand. It’s simple dealer metrics," said Fiat Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne last month.

    However, Chrysler spokesman Rick Deneau tells the News that the Fiat dealers who are getting the chance to sell 4C haven't been told yet.

    The 4C will be the only Alfa Romeo on sale in the U.S. till next year. That is when the Giulia, Giulietta, and the Spider are expected. But then again, we've heard time and time again that these vehicles are coming in 2012, only to be pushed back.

    “It doesn’t matter how many they sell. What they need the 4C to do is attract attention. It needs to make a statement," said Stephanie Brinley of IHS Automotive.

    Brinley goes onto say that more Alfa models should quickly follow up to keep the momentum going.

    “The 2015 products really need to come in 2015. Otherwise, they will lose momentum.”

    Why even bother making a news release as they have no trust in the public to actually deliver. On top of that, saying that select Fiat dealers will get the 4C along with the Maserati dealers sure sends a mixed message.

    Interesting so I guess then the Bellevue Maserati dealership and the two largest fiat dealerships which are only a couple miles away from this Maserati dealership, one to the north and one to the south will all get the 4C then.

    Do not believe it.

      Happened to stumble into this buried somewhere on my homepage. The Linda Blair of current times, in front of the famous poster for this landmark movie.  It's a classic and only jarring the first few times you see it.  I'd like to get that poster.  They've redone that house in Georgetown to drive away the looky-loos. The big money caused her to leave her native St. Louis.  She supposedly lives on a spread of high desert land north of L.A. where she keeps horses and dogs.  There's no husband and there are no kids.  She seems to prefer the slow lane because she was once in the fast lane.  Shacking up with Rick James would be considered the fast lane.  What was she thinking?  What was she on?

      Las Vegas is a resort.  Yes ... point taken.  I've gotten safes in some FL hotels that could hold a 14" to 16" laptop and other stuff layered in.  It comes with the territory that, when there are resort fees, there will be other cheesy ways to jack up the tab. The issue I'm lamenting is when there isn't one in the room, yet the location and price point call for it.

      Add the deceptive safe thing with the deceptive Fridge in Room that is useless as the fridge is stocked with their own drinks and if you move anything to use the fridge, they charge you for it even when you do not drink their stuff. They might as well NOT say there is a fridge in the rooms. Las Vegas is terrible for this having the advertising of safes and fridges in every room, but the Safe is a joke, barely able to hold a passport and wallet and the fridges are stocked with for charge stuff, so there is no Fridge for use by the room renter.

      @Robert Hall  Thank you.  There is now some "advertising" in hotel websites calling out a "laptop safe" when it's bigger than a regular one.  What is really off-putting is when it's a brand of hotels that should have in-room safes ... and they don't.  Or, worse yet, when the description shows that there is a safe and, then, it's not there because the website description hasn't been updated: they're either transitioning to another model or they've removed them altogether.
