Alfa Romeo New 169 Sports Sedan


 There are big plans for Alfa's new 169 Executive sedan and if the highly successful Quattroporte is an indication of where the company is going, then the "four-door coupe" field is about to get even more challenged.  Alfa is planning to enter the U.S. market sometime around 2010-11 timeline.



 This gives Alfa enough time to sort through its offerings and platforms, before the new arrival of the 169/ Chrysler 300 sibling debut.  The new 169 will go up against the likes of Mercedes CLS and Audi A5 Sportback in that these models follow a coupe silloute in styling profile, but will be a direct rival to BMW's imfamous 5 Series.  Alfa will rely heavy on the thing it does best, styling.  Alfa has always set the standard in design with Italian flair and lead in their rightful segments (the stunning 8C Competizone,  Brera, MiTo)
