Perfect Pair? Alfa Romeos Could Join Fiats in U.S. Showrooms
August 24, 2010

Although the little Fiat 500 won't go on sale until the end of 2010, Chrysler began the tedious process of building a dealer network for the brand here in North America. Although those showrooms will sell and service the 500 at the outset, it also seems they will carry Alfa Romeo brand vehicles as well whenever they show up here in the U.S.
A Chrysler spokesman had previously indicated that Fiat's North American dealers may handle the Alfa line in the U.S., but it now seems more likely than ever, according to Chrysler Group and Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"It's more than likely that Fiat and Alfa Romeo brands will be sold in the same [showrooms]," Marchionne told Automotive News at a recent event at Chrysler's Jeep plant in Toledo, Ohio.
