Sunday, at the prestigious Palo Alto Concours d'Elegance (where Alfa was the
featured marque), the public address announcer continually pronounced it
"Alfa Romero" in spite of being corrected countless times. So it isn't only
Motor Trend who has the automobile brand mixed up with the name of a late
movie star who's first name is the same as Rome's First Citizen and Emperor.
