Chrysler-Fiat Subject to Meeting: Where’s Alfa?
After all the speculation that Alfa Romeo would share platform architecture with next-generation Chryslers and mount a return to the United States, Alfa never came up during today's 8-hour Chrysler -Fiat briefing.
Finally, a journalist asked, “What about Alfa?”
And Sergio Marchionne's reply? “We have Alfa in the 2014 sales numbers. But it's not much. Alfa needs to make a case for itself here, though.”
That would be here, as in here in the U.S. But 2014will apparentlybeno ordinary year. That's the year by which Fiat claims that Chrysler will more than double its currentworldwide sales volume, topping out at 2.8 million units. That could happen, right?
