Rumorpile: Alfa Romeo Becomes A Standalone Company

  • Alfa Romeo as a standalone firm?!

Another chapter in the Alfa Romeo story appears to be forming. Automotive News Europe has learned from sources that Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne is considering making Alfa Romeo a standalone firm, much like Ferarri and Maserati. This means Alfa Romeo would have its own management team and headquarters.

"To make this new relaunch attempt into a credible business proposition, Marchionne needs to make Alfa's P&L clearly visible," a source said.

Marchionne is expected to announce this on May 6th, the day where he'll present a new five-year plan for the company.

This could either be super effective or be the end of Alfa.... I don't think there will be an in-between.

Agreed, if they get proper funding they could make a go of it, but my gut tells me to accept that Alfa is headed to the history books and will be gone in 5-8 years at most.
