Sources in Europe say this is the tentative product plan for Alfa Romeo through 2018. All models are based on a new rear- and all-wheel-drive platform called Giorgio.
• Compact car: Two body styles, a sporty four-door and a hatchback, are planned.
• Mid-sized car: The first of Alfa's new nameplates, the sedan is set to debut in Europe in late 2015 and in the United States in 2016. A sporty wagon will follow.
• Large car: The flagship model project was started in late 2012 as a derivative of the Maserati Ghibli. Last summer, planners decided that Maserati's underpinnings were too expensive.
• Specialty: This specialty car is likely a rival to BMW's 6 series.
• Compact/mid-sized crossover: This vehicle will be positioned between the BMW X3 and X5.
• Large SUV: Originally conceived as a derivative of the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Alfa's rival to the Audi Q7 will be built in Turin, Italy.
