s***, United States Wishes to have these European Manufactors and Car Brands Available .... all we get here in the US is Crap. Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge Etc. and the Sadest thing about it, is that there outside US models are better with more options and more hosepower. Why the Goverment dont let these European Manufactors to come to the US. Renault, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Seat, Citroen, Peugeot ? I know the Answer. cause they will get there ass kicked even more with this European Models. Cars with Small Engines beating up nasty the american Muscle, big engines, gasoline Eaters. In Europe is were they have the Sickest, Finest True Automobiles, Technology and common sence about designing cars, not like in here, The newer the car is, the Uglier they make them..

Oh man, I absolutelt love Alfa Romeo's, ever since I first laid my eyes on them years back I have always wanted one.

I can't wait till they start selling them in the U.S. in 2009, or so I have heard. Unfortunately they will probably be more than I can afford.
