Fiat has announced the selection of an executive to head the North American Maserati and Alfa Romeo division. Which of course doesn't quite exist yet (well, at least with Alfa attached), but it does bring our favorite cross-and-serpent that much closer to US shores. There's also this road test of the 159.

Car and Driver reported this month that a) the 159 actually won't be coming to our shores and b) even if it did it might be priced as high as $49,000. Even I can't save that many pennies. Oh well, it'll at least be nice to see them on the highways again.
