Globe and Mail (Report on Business) “Alfa Romeo is likely to return to North America by 2012 after a 15-year hiatus, the head of Fiat SpA, the company that makes the classic Italian sports car, said Friday.”
If the Chrysler acquisition doesn’t ruin it, I would love to upgrade to a Brera or 159 when they are finally available here!
These days, though, I’m very much a BMW fan. Something happened to Mercedes in the interim, and they now strike me as a bit flashy. What’s with all those shiny highlights on the fascia, for one thing? The styling seems to have become fussy, the wheels have become a bit vulgar, and if I actually knew what it meant I’d say that a Benz has become a bit chavvy.
I like what’s been happening to BMW since I’ve been on Top Gear. That ‘flame surface’ styling that everyone got so worked up about now looks cool and modern, and the inside of a BMW has become tasteful and intelligent.
Something I’ve always wanted to do. Walk up to one of Toronto’s finest car dealerships and take a rolling wedge of blasphemy out for a spin. Sadly (based on this story) that may not be so feasible.
