I guess Alfa Romeo hasn't noticed all the traded-in SUV's rotting on dealer lots, because they've decided that now is the perfect time to bring a new soccer-mom mobile to market. They don't even feel they have to advertise their new compact behemoth, likely to hit the US in 2010, claiming that "Alfa Romeo is not a brand that requires huge marketing budgets" because "the brand is known worldwide." Well, maybe if the production version looks as mean as the concept sketch, the thing would sell itself. But that's not altogether likely. Stay tuned!
