Alfa Romeo 4C Concept - Click above for high-res image gallery
If
Alfa Romeo wanted to get people talking with the
debut of its 4C concept in Geneva, they succeeded. The Internet is abuzz with rumors of its production potential. There have already been reports that the Alfa will spearhead the marque's full-fledged return to North America, to be followed by both Spider and
Abarth versions. Now, word is that
Maserati could get a derivative, too.
If the reports prove accurate and the spinoffs come to fruition, that would mean three brands within the
Fiat group will get their own versions of the lightweight, mid-engined, four-cylinder sports car. And that's
before any of the
Chrysler brands get a crack at it, because a
Dodge version to pick up where the
Circuit concept left off could be most tempting. The Maserati version would naturally be positioned and appointed differently from the Alfa or Abarth models. The question is whether the market can bear more than one
Elise rival from Fiat/Chrysler, let alone multiples.
