i think it has to do with engine size, all american sportscars have had a big engine, this has a small
example: 4,5 litre V8 (458) vs 6.2 litre V8 (ZR1)

@ Mental: I don't know, Alfa probably stopped selling cars in my country either when I was little, or before I was born, but being that Fiat owns Alfa Romeo and Chrysler, Alfas might start being sold in America again within a few years, I never thought I'd see a Fiat the U.S., but my local Chrysler dealership has a brand new 500 in stock and I've seen quite a few of them on the highway in Georgia and Florida, and at a local Nissan dealership of all places, those little things are popping up everywhere, so I wouldn't be surprised to see brand new Alfas in the flesh a few years from now.
