Its Official: Alfa to Return to U.S.

Fiat president Sergio Marchionne has officially confirmed that the Alfa Romeo brand will make a return appearance to the United States starting in 2012.

The first vehicles that should hit Chrysler dealerships will be the midsize Giulia, which will come in both sedan and wagon versions, along with a compact SUV built in the U.S. using European Giullietta hatchback underpinnings.

One year later, Alfa plans to begin offering a five-door version of the stylish MiTo hatchback, which will be joined by a new Alfa Romeo Spider two-seater that could it look something like the 2uettottanta concept (right) shown this year at the Geneva Auto Show. In 2014, these vehicles will be joined by a redesigned compact Giullietta hatchback and a second, larger SUV built in America using architecture borrowed from the next-generation Jeep Liberty.
