Sorry if this is old news.   Seems to be the smartest move Fiat has made for the Alfa brand in the last few years..... :D

I think it was previously an expression of intererst for future joint development. 

Now it is confirmed.  Here are a few pics for reference only from previous articles about this topic.

Now:
2011 Giulietta QV

Previously:
1989 164 3.0  V6
2002 156 Twin Spark Sports Edition
2002 147 Twin Spark
2002 916 Spider Twin Spark
1990 Alfa 75 Potenziata

1750GTV

Hopefully it won't be another ARNA.

Only problem with the Arna was it looked pretty much identical to the Pulsar, apparently it went fine (33/sprint mech.). So long as this new spider has a body by centro or Pininfarina and an engine by Alfa/Fiat I don't really care where it built.

Anybody buying a 4C ? :)
