However, in a recent interview, the chairman of the board Alfa Romeo Jean-Philippe Imparato said: "We don't want to become an SUV brand, even though the world is shifting towards SUVs."
The director is in favor Coach also said that sedans are ready for a comeback, as aerodynamics and electrification go hand in hand. He also said: "You will have the Giulia in the Alfa Romeo range - and not only that, because the next steps we are dealing with are: what is the answer to the GTV and what could be the answer to the Duetta?"
That means the coupe and roadster could be revived, but it is Learned noted that there is nothing for now "locked and confirmed".
