Alfa Romeo 169 - anticipations

Alfa Romeo 169 – anticipations

The always excellent ItaliaSpeed has published some anticipations on the Alfa Romeo 169.
The new Alfa flagship, codename Progetto 941, should be positioned in a higher segment than the current Alfa 166, with the objective of stealing sales from cars such as the Mercedes CLS.

The 169 should be one of the centerpieces for Alfa Romeo’s returno to the US.

The Alfa 169 should arrive in 2008, and will not use the Premium platform: it will share the next Maserati Quattroporte platform.
Alfa Romeo aficionados are rejoicing for the return of a car with rear wheel drive and transaxle transmission.

High torsional rigidity, a balanced weight distribution and RWD should make the marketing playing field a bit more level for Alfa in its assault on big german saloons.
