Alfa Romeo Plans New "Affordable" Coupe: Could Come To U.S.

Alfa Romeo reportedly has plans to build a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive coupe that would become the brand's halo car, according to Automotive News Europe.

Alfa, owned by Italian automaker Fiat, plans to show a concept version of the car at next month's Geneva auto show next month, one of Europe's two big auto shows this year.

The concept is set to be built as the 4C GTA and go on sale for about $55,000), the trade weekly reported. Alfa has not had a truly affordable rear-drive car of significance since it discontinued the Duetto Spider (pictured) in 1994.

Although it pulled out of the U.S. market back in 1995, Alfa Romeo is looking for a comeback. Its return won't be easy as its worthy adversaries include BMW and Audi which are both already entrenched in the luxury car market in America. Two limited edition 8C models are expected to be sold through Maserati dealerships but the brand faces a dark past of sub-par customer service and reliability. Best known for its use in the movie "The Graduate" with Dustin Hoffman, the company is hopeful to regain a piece of the American market once again starting later this year.
