While presenting Fiat’s 5-year plan to investors and the automotive press earlier this week, FiatCEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed the Alfa Romeo Spider is coming to North America.

When asked about production of the Spider, Marchionne responded “That car may go to Brampton, I don’t know…”

Okay, so you’re saying there’s a chance!

Brampton is an underutilized plant and Fiat has been looking for ways to get the most out of it while supporting the re-launch of Alfa Romeo in North America. Last year it was rumoured that the Alfa Romeo 149 luxury sedan was slated for Brampton but it appears those plans are on hold.

Chrysler’s Brampton, Ontario facility makes a logical choice for producing the Spider (aside from the cold winters) because it’s home to Chrysler’s only RWD passenger car production line.

But Alfa Romeo won’t cure Chrysler’s woes. In fact, sales of the famed Italian brand have fallen considerably over the last 10 years. In fact, late last year Marchionne put the brand on “Strategic Review.”
