PIC: Fiat Might Ditch the Miata-based Alfa Romeo
One or the other, this car should definitely get out the door. It is
sporty and like the article says, Alfa is better than no Alfa. I think that the best partnership will be established for the production of the Spyder. FROM: CR Rumors are mounting that Fiat may pull the plug on its Mazda partnership, which was designed to produce the Alfa Romeo Spyder roadster. So far, the rumors are still unconfirmed, but while Alfa is set to roll out the new 4C Spyder this week in Geneva, it’s getting easy to see why the project may be in doubt. Sources seem to indicate that Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has decided to cancel the program in order to keep Alfa Romeo production within Italy. The original deal called for Mazda to manufacture the vehicles, but the guys over at Autoblog suggested Marchionne might shift the focus to another held Italian marque, such as the Fiat or Abarth brand. This move sounds likely, as we reported just a few days ago that the Spyder may receive an Abarth power plant. In the meantime, let’s just be happy that we’re getting the 4C. A little Alfa is better than no Alfa. View the attachments for this post at: http://www.jlaforums.com/viewtopic.p...0130#271580130 |
