Even rumors of Alfa Romeo and Volkswagen

New year, old entries. The year 2011 starts there where we left off in 2010, with more and more insistent rumors about the sale of Alfa Romeo to Volkswagen by Fiat. Resounding the topic this time was the German newspaper "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" that the German would be a step away from the purchase of Alpha and lacking even a few weeks to close the deal.

According to rumors heard by the Agnelli family newspaper would come to this (painful) conclusion because the costs of the climb in Chrysler Fiat would be very high and can not show any recovery plan for Alfa. From Detroit, however, Sergio Marchionne has denied everything, saying that even the Lingotto betting on talking about the Alfa Romeo and Alfa Romeo models of the future, as the long-awaited Giulia, the sedan's revival.

The CEO of Fiat added: "Yes, today the figure is not Alfa Romeo," have always said so as recently "For Alfa would sell 20 billion." The feeling you have is that even though the Lingotto has ideas too clear on what to do with Alfa Romeo. On the one hand there are certainly reasons of the heart, which would lead to hold on the House of Arese, boosting it to return to the glories of the past, there are other overriding reasons of economy: get 51% of Chrysler's costs and funds be found, from either side and only Fiat selling something can be achieved that the majority of the American House.

Put a mark to market launch could be another way to "make money", but the Turin has a much less appealing than the historical rival Alfa Romeo, and then are imminent arrivals of new models such as Thema, Fulvia , Ypsilon 5 doors and Phedra, a sign of intention to invest in Fiat Lancia. Alfa Romeo The question remains always open and we hope you do not trigger a soap opera style Opel.
