Automobile.com is carrying this much more detailed article on Alfa's return to North America:

Although the brands exact date of arrival is not known, and theres no official information about which vehicles will initially be available, insiders and industry analysts have painted a pretty accurate picture of what will be heading our way. Certain to be included will be the 159 sedan, a critically-acclaimed BMW 3-Series-sized four-door thats set to target the compact luxury segment. The range will most likely feature the Twin Spark inline-four series engines, as well as the Holden-designed, but Alfa-modified V6 engines. A 159 wagon will follow, and both cars will be offered with a unique all -wheel drive system featuring Torsens new C variable differential.

Hmmm... a wagon. Now there's an interesting idea.

Meanwhile, Alfa has collected a new award for its 159 sedan, this time from a UK association of fleet managers. Considering the number of cars they deal with and the kinds of things they value, this tends to speak well of Alfa's efforts to improve reliability and quality.

Gotta keep counting those pennies!
