Once the agreement was signed between Fiat and Chrysler, fans of Italian design in America actively await the return of Fiat and Alfa Romeo. By the end of next year there should appear Fiat 500, Alfa Romeo MiTo and Alfa Romeo Milano, although no official confirmation. The reason is that Americans are not yet fully adopted the concept of hechbetsite as practical family car. Examples are the premium automobile manufacturers – BMW and Mercedes Benz produce compact models, but are not offered overseas. It seems that Alfa Romeo could follow the same example as their first model a sedan in the United States Giulia – deputy of European 159. Executive Director of the Alfa Romeo, Sergio Kravero revealed to the Italian edition, Giulia that will appear in 2012. He adds that smaller cars as MiTo and Milano are more suitable for European markets, so that the return of Alfa Romeo will be focused around the successful debut of the sedan Giulia. Larger sedans are generally more expensive, which means that they offer higher profit sold on to small car models like MiTo. In this market in the U.S. and lack of tolerance to small cars Giulia might be the best proposal.
