Alfa to Arrive Earlier in the USA?; Ford Small Cars Years Away; GM Abandoning Value Pricing?


Alfa may be set to return to the USA one year earlier than expected with a high end, $200K+ sports car. The regular lineup of Spider, Brera and 159 sedan would arrive one year later.

Ford is in trouble, it didn’t foresee the market shifts that have occurred and its small car lineup is a few years away. There has also been a shift away from full sized trucks, another sore point for Ford.

GM appears to be shifting away from value pricing. 2007 Buick and Pontiac pricing is rising GM is admitting that SUVs and full sized trucks need a nice fat rebate in order to move as well.
