The car-spotting over here does not stop! I didn’t know these existed until I spied this super-clean example while out shopping. Does anyone have any info on this little beauty? Another view after the jump.

Group 2 Motorsports

We shot a bunch of video over at Group 2 Motorsports yesterday. I’m guessing half of Seattle’s Alfa population is parked at that shop. Thanks again to Joe and the rest of the crew, and you can expect to see more on Group 2 in this blog in the near future. Tons more pics after the jump, including a bunch of 2CVs (yes, the French theme continues…).

Alfa Romeo: Triumphant Return to US in 2012?
HotRodHoney
Alfa Romeo: a part of Fiat since 1986, left the US in 1995. Fiat attempted a return in 2003, and again in 2006 before the big economic meltdown thwarted further plans. But this time, Fiat CEO Sergio Machionne says they’re serious.
“I’m a lot more confident now that Alfa Romeo will reconstitute a product offering that is acceptable globally, and more particularly in the United States and Canada,” says Marchionne. “There is a strong likelihood that the brand will be back here within the next 24 months.” Marchionne and Fiat Group Chairman Luca Cordero di Montezemolo have been credited on numerous occasions as returning Fiat’s automobile division to profitability in 2006.

We just uploaded a bunch of pics from the January 2 Cars and Coffee in Irvine, California. I don’t know what I like more, this Coronet, or this Alfa. See the rest of the pics at cncpics.com!

Word on Chrysler
By Chris Trout

One of the big concerns for those of us observing the automotive market and community is the fate of Chrysler. Rob and I as well as many others have written on the subject of their potential impending doom, merge with Fiat, and resulting product line.
Sergio Marchionne finally revealed the product lines we can expect in the coming years, and in doing so confirmed some rumors, clarified others, and dispelled others. For those of you that didn’t catch the news, I will provide the highlights, from a smattering of news sources that I caught.
Marchionne has a lot to wrestle into submission at Chrysler, including ailing sales, debt to the government and others, a poor reputation for quality and fuel mileage, and an uninspiring product line. Since few of you have business degrees, and even fewer give a lug nut about the entire financial climate, I am going to provide a car guy’s lens on the new product overview.

What Is This?
By Rob Einaudi

I chased this car down Aurora in Seattle yesterday. When I pulled up next to it, I asked the owner what it was and he said it was “an Alfa Romeo before the wreck.” Or anyway, I think that’s what he said. Anyone know this car?

What Did You Do This Weekend?
Weston Henderson
My week was jam-packed with car stuff. Lets see, where do I begin? Saturday morning Ryan and I washed our cars and met up at Griot’s Garage Company in Fife, Washington for a tour of their facility. Just so happened that we rolled in during the “Italian Cars” group tour and spotted this ultra-hot Alfa Romeo. More…
