Alfa Romeo, Alfa Romeo. Where art thou Alfa Romeo? Looks like the Italian brand is going to take a little longer to return to the U.S.

Fiat's sporty Alfa Romeo brand will be reintroduced to the U.S. starting in 2013, not 2012 as planned.That's bad news for the 100 or so U.S. Fiat dealers who signed up to take that brand because they were promised models from Fiat's Alfa and possibly Lancia brands to fill their showrooms. U.S. Fiat dealers currently have only the Fiat 500 mini-car to sell."The icing on the cake for us as retailers is the Alfa Romeo franchise," is how Fiat dealer Carl Galeana puts it. He operates Fiat of Lakeside, in Macomb, Mich., north of Detroit. Many Americans still are nostalgic for the Alfa Romeo, the car that Dustin Hoffman's character drives in the classic film, The Graduate. Economic uncertainty in Europe is prompting Fiat executives to review what products to launch where and when. Alfa said the 4C, a two-seater, still is planned as the first U.S.-market Alfa Romeo. The fate of a U.S.-market Giulietta, a compact that's considered roomy, stylish and powerful in Europe. A car based on the Giulietta is expected to be built in the U.S. by Fiat-controlled Chrysler Group and sold as a Dodge.
