Thank goodness I own a 88 Spider for I will be dead before Alfa Romeo sells cars in the USA.
Mid-engined Alfa Romeo? BMW and MBenz have have already carried the corpse to it’s gravesite. Remember Lancia? Not likely. Remember Porsche?
How are those biturbos doing these days? You can buy one for a couple of hundred dollars. And a Porsche of the same era? a little more, I guess.
