From the 'we delayed it once again' file, Bloomberg is reporting that Alfa Romeo's return to the U.S. has been delayed once again. Rick Deneau, a Chrysler spokesman says the first Alfa Romeo for the U.S., the 4C has been pushed back to the second quarter of 2014. No reason was given for the delay.

Back in January, Fiat/Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne told reporters that the Alfa Romeo 4C would be coming to the U.S. by the end of the year,

“For sure it’s coming back this year with the 4C. We’ll be selling the Alfa Romeo 4C. We’re finalizing the car now so it should be here by the end of the year.”

It seems like we have been waiting for this car for ages but I after seeing some reviews I think it will be well worth the wait.

I guess they're just making sure to put the finishing touches on without leaving a blemish. Patience is a virtue. The Alfa Romeo 4C looks sweet, too.

I.hope it doesn't have the 9-Speed from the Cherokee...

DATED!

With the IPO and purchase issues, I suspect they are having cold feet about using the Chrysler/Fiat dealerships to bring this back.

By the time they do bring this to the US, it will be dated and will need an update I suspect.

It also has some major blind spots in the rear quarters.

Hopefully they're working on making the cars reliable.

Can't have enough of the sportier models which seem to be taking more of the early sales. I agree that if they keep the feel of the brand, yes make it up to US safety standards it will have an audience built in. Wonder what the price point will be?

High.
