Everything is about to change for Alfa Romeo fans. At a recent press introduction of the new MiTo small car in Milan and in celebration of its 100-year anniversary (next year), Alfa will be coming back to America. In fact, the maker announced it will be coming out with more models for U.S. consumption in the next three years than it's released worldwide in the last 10 -- each designed, engineered, and manufactured with the American market in mind. That's the good news. The bad is that the newest (and smallest) Alfa won't be coming to the U.S. any time soon, as it was designed off a platform variant (Fiat Punto) that would take significant time, money, and reengineering to meet safety and service regulations here in the States. Then, of course, there's the little problem of not having much of a dealer network here, either; however, we were told that issue is being coordinated, so there is hope for the 2010 model year.
