Alfa Romeo has chosen this weekend’s Meadowbrook Concours d’Elegance, in Rochester Hills, Mich., to premiere its plans for United States sales of the upcoming 8C Competizione supercar. Alfa Romeo chose Meadowbrook as the brand is the featured marque at the Concours.
The Alfa Romeo Owners Club will also be having its annual convention in the same area and in conjuction with the Concours. Alfa Romeo is expected to release the 8C’s U.S. price, which will likely exceed $200,000. The price in Europe is 159,300 euros.
Alfa Romeo hasn’t sold new cars in the U.S. since 1995, so the dealership network is nearly gone. The automaker is expected to announce distribution plans this weekend.

Beautiful car- Big price tag for Alfa Romeo.
Do they plan on bringing any more traditional models over?

They kind of have to, unless thay want to lose sales to people who would have bought a lower-priced Alfa.

A beautiful car but it is not worth north of 200,000 dollars. I would buy a product from its sister company Ferrari for that price. This car should be 115,000 dollars. Of course the people that are willing to spend this kind of money on a car probably have a Ferrari in their garage and since it is one of the most beautiful cars to exist in recent years, there is no doubt that all are sold.

The 8c is a simply beautiful car, even better than an Aston Martin. The original 8C was a revolution in its time as well, it was the faster car in the world at the time, 330 hp then was like 1000hp now.

Since Fiat owns Alfa and Ferrari, why wouldn’t they sell it through Ferrari? I can’t imagine it would impede sales, a 3 year wait for 599 is no different than a 3 year wait for this 8C.
And this car is damn sexy.

Just wait for the convertible; all of Beverly Hills will be hyperventilating.

Alfa has beautiful cars, but if they want to do well in the U.S. again, they’re gonna hafta bring over some more practical vehicles over along with the 8C… I sure hope they do.

Of course alfa is bringing over other models. That’s the whole reason for the 8c, it’s marketing. Brera, spider, and 159 in late 2009.

The worst thing about Alfa over here is the dealerships. It’d be great to be starting from a clean slate, like in the US!

If they don’t bring quality, no super dealership or number so models is going to help them sell cars.
Too many people know WHY Alfa left the US market.
It was the same reason Renault and Fiat left.
