<<<"...There is NO POSSIBLE WAY even the greatest and most refined 147 could sell in commercial numbers in the USA in the $20k range.  $20(k) car buyers would not want it because it is an unknown from a problematic origin.  Those who have more money, or who want to buy prestige wouldn't buy a $20k car....">>>
===================
jeez, charlie, yure evewn more pessimistic than moi!!!  ;~)  personally, w/~180hp or so, for $20k, i tink the alfa 147 would do ok in the usa - *if* it were marketed properly, & *if* it were only one of the full range of alfas awailable f/s here.  but, these *if's* are highly selasse - oops, sorry, i mean highly unlikely, imo....
