A couple of final words from Sergio Marchionne and Luca De Meo, inundated by questions from Reuters at the stand in Geneva’s exhibtion hall, has anticipated juicy scenes about the short-term future of Alfa Romeo.
In view of the debut in the United States, the Biscione management is evaluating the possibility of establishing a manufacturing base in Mexico. The ufficial decision will be finalized by the end of the year: the head-to-head between the central American state and Canada, possibility revealed some months ago, would already be underway.
In a light-hearted moment, De Meo wanted to reassure Alfa fanatics, reinforcing that the desire to restore the brand’s values will not be disregarded: “in occasion of the centennial we will present a never-before-seen model”. On his admission though, the 140 project (the future 149) and the 141 project (the future 169) are not under discussion.
