Auburn Hills, MI – An initial group of 86 dealers have been awarded Alfa Romeo franchises in the US and Canada.

According to the Italian auto maker, 82 of the new dealers are located in 33 states, with California, Texas, and Florida having the largest concentration of dealerships.

There are four Alfa Romeo dealers in Canada in this first group.

The initial pool of dealers was drawn from existing FIAT and Maserati brand dealers.

“The 86 dealers will be the first to sell the all-new 2015 Alfa Romeo 4C coupe and limited-edition 4C Launch Edition when the iconic Italian sports car brand returns to the North American market later this year,” the company said, adding that it anticipates that its North American dealership network will eventually exceed 300 franchises.
