The news from Geneva just seems to get better and better (emphasis added):

In a polished and well thought out speech, [new CEO] Kalbfell spoke of his plans, as well as mentioning, for the first time officially, that a return to the USA was on the cards.
...
It is also believed that GM are busily co-operating with Alfa Romeo in order to get the 'Premium' floorpan finalised for US homologation, ready for the Alfa 159 and Brera's North American arrival late next year.

Yeah, and they'll be using GM engines too. Might as well buy a Pontiac. Well, not quite:

The engine is uniquely different from any of the other variants of the GM V6 engine range, and can be described as a true Alfa Romeo gem, with the majority of components having been redesigned around the bare block.

As described by the leader behind the technical development centre at Alfa Romeo, Paulo Massai, the block itself can be regarded as an “insensitive and inanimate piece of metal”, with the features that determine the true soul of the engine having been fully engineered from the ground up.

Skepticisms about the GM connotations of this engine should thus be swept under the carpet, as the engine features a brand new cylinder head, new liners, pistons, manifolds and injection system, to name but a few of the changes.

The trick is, as always, figuring out how to afford one. I hear children are fetching very high prices nowadays...

Oh come on people. It's a joke. I wouldn't sell Olivia. I'm sure reasonable leasing deals would be far more lucrative.
