OTTAWA — After leaving suddenly almost twenty years ago, fans of one Italian car brand (品牌) have been crying, “Oh, Alia Romeo, where are you? But with the arrival of the allnew Alfa Romeo 4C sports car this year, parent Fiat's sportiest brand is back in business in Canada. The question is: Will anybody care?
Although it hasn't sold a new car in Canada since 1995, the Alfa Romeo brand is one of the oldest in the Car industry. It was founded in 1910. It quickly became wellknown for making fast, beautiful and expensive sports cars. An Italian stateholding company took over in the early 1930s, but since 1986, the Alfa brand has been owned by Fiat.
Unfortunately, Alfa Romeo met fresh competition from Japan. By the mid1990s, Alfa's lone North American offerings were the Spider roadster (单排座敞篷轿车)．
Many Alfa fans will tell you the brand' s success is on the racetracks (赛车场). Dating back to 1913, Alfa Romeo has always had a strong factory presence in racing. But since the late－1980s the Italian automaker has become less involved in car races.
While Alfa Romeo has shot a few videos of its new mid－engine, two－seat 4C, on a racetrack, there are no plans for the car maker to get back into racing.
One of the biggest attractions for Toronto Alfa Romeo fan Vytas Svedas is the brand's racing past. He currently takes part in many races with his father with a 1966 Alfa Giulia Sprint GT, and he thinks if Alfa wants to be taken seriously as it returns to selling cars in Canada, it has to get back on the racetrack.
Of course, not all Alfa fans need a racetrack to enjoy their cars. David Semel is the
president of the Alfa Romeo Club of Ottawa. Semel's current ride is a 1964 Alfa Romeo Giulia SS. And, he admits, the main attraction of the Giulia SS is the way the car looks not how fast it can go.
