We were getting amped up for Alfa Romeo’s return to the U.S. and the chance to drive Breras and Guilietta’s on our favorite roads, and then Fiat head Sergio Marchionne delivers what they call a “smackdown” at the Detroit Auto Show. According to Autocar, Marchionne says that Fiat has to show it can sell enough cars in America to make the enterprise worthwhile on its own, which we take to mean he’s not content with Alfa being a critically loved but money-losing division of a profitable conglomerate. If Alfa can’t prove the worth of flying to America, then it will stay grounded in Europe. We have but one word to say to this news: maledizione!
