Fiat Delays Debut Of Alfa Romeo Until Q2 Of 2014

Fiat SpA, the Italian automaker that controls Chrysler Group LLC, is delaying the return of its Alfa Romeo brand to the U.S. until the second quarter of 2014, a Chrysler spokesman said.

Sergio Marchionne, chief executive officer of Fiat and Chrysler, told reporters in Detroit in January that the U.S. automaker would start selling the compact 4C sports car this year. Marchionne wants to revive the premium brand, long a symbol of Italian style and performance, and take it global.

This delay could be very well due to Fiat's issue with buying out Chrysler's UAW trust. By the way, has anyone got any CURRENT information on the reliability of the Fiat 500 now that it has been around for a couple of years and sales are now meeting expectations, despite missing their target in first year sales?
