Just last week, Alfa Romeo’s CEO, Antonio Baravalle stepped down from the position and today comes word of his successor: Luca De Meo will be taking over the Alfa Romeo brand. De Meo recently stepped down as the CEO of Fiat brand to take the position of Chief Marketing Officer for the entire Fiat Group. De Meo will retain that position, as well as heading up the Abarth division.
While CEO of Fiat, De Meo was responsible for the Grande Punto, Bravo and the 500
Baravalle, 42, had been with Fiat — Alfa Romeo’s parent company — since 1999 and will now become CEO of of Einaudi, the publishing house of Italy’s Mondadori media group.
It was expected that Fiat would choose an internal replacement.
The Fiat Group Automobiles doesn’t report its brands financial standings, but it is believed that Alfa Romeo is its biggest money loser.

Fiat is on a huge up turn and has turned big profits under Marchionne, the president.
Alfa Romeo has a pretty, but lacklustre line-up. This will change shortly, their comeback to the US is based on new models, spearheaded by the 8C.
I believe Lancia has a couple of winners, but I know little about them and the future of the marque.

Alfa Romeos will be sold in the US through Maserati dealerships. I would give my sister’s head to science to work for them, but HQ is in New Jersey.

The guy is 42 and already been president of the company with great name. Why am I not Italian aristocrat? Now he moves to publishing. What Alfa has in common with publishing? Fcuk, I want to kill him: such a sperm inheritance!
I think only one Alfa will be sold Statewide. Most of them are probably pre-sold already.

Alex Dane & Nici Sterling and Mark Davis (From Sodomania 15)
This one takes age and family play to a different level. I’ve reviewed it before in various compilations so I will try to hit the highlights here. Alex is a cute little thing who nearly gets caught looking at porn by her mom’s boyfriend Mark Davis. The masturbation makes for great tease and who could blame Mark for loving what he sees. He finds out that she has never been kissed and the start the whole “let me teach you†thing. It’s very well done here as both Alex and Mark play their roles perfectly. Mommy (Nici) comes home and is so furious that she demands that Alex sit there and watch while she learns how to do it properly. The role play is what makes this scene hot. Nici is perfect as the horny bitch mom and Alex plays innocent about as well as anyone. It also works on another level because both women look so damn good and the sexual energy is high. Nici talks Alex through an orgasm while Mark is licking her pussy and then invites her man to pop that little cherry. They take things slow at first and build. Once again, this isn’t a typical porn scene, but that is part of what makes it great. Nici cranks things up a bit when she takes it in the ass, instructing Alex on how to do it properly and telling her that she is next. The anal with Alex is fantastic and shows her at her very best. They finish things off with a shared cumshot and of course, the twist ending that makes everything all right.
